kiwi535 538 Report post Posted December 10, 2010 The 120D has run flat tyres.The ride on good roads is very nice but on uneven surfaces its harsh,much worse than the 535 with its 45 profile tyres and stiff swaybars....Are the rims for these tyres normal rims or a special shape?.?

zenetti 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2010 Run Flat rims are different to normal rims however a run flat rim will accept a standard tyre. If you do decide to change, just make sure you get a can of tyre repair (Slime, Pando or similar) to put in the boot in case you get a puncture Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However after getting rid of the runflats the car felt like it floated around a bit more and never quite felt as sharp on the road... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deskdiver 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 Hi all My 120D almost needs a new set of rubber. It's currently shod with Conti Premium Contact SSR 205/55 R16 91V tyres. Anybody know where in Auckland I can get a deal on a set of four of the current incarnation of 205/55R16 Continental SSR tyres? Has anybody here experienced Tyre City Newmarket? Thanks in advance.
