520d MSport runflats or normal tyres?

I am close to changing the tyres on my 520d Msport saloon, the mileage on the original set will be around 40,000 which is good for a set of tyres, however I wondered if anyone has changed out the runflats for normal tyres & what difference it makes to ride quality, wear & tear and tyre noise.

I would say ditch them, you can get a spacesaver for £120 from BMW, and then buy a set of Falken FK452's for £380 fitted, really good tyre, far more grip, more comfortable, last longer and cheaper.

Plus it is far easier to get a spare sorted quickly if needed.

Yeah of course they will. Just some stupid fekin' tyre fitters don't even realise!!

Any tyre can fit on any rim that is EH2 or EH2+ (which means it has a bead to keep a flat tyre on the rim), however, you can't put a runflat on a rim that is not EH2 or EH2+.

So any tyre on a run flat rim but it you can't put a run flat on a regular rim.

Nearly all rims made these days are EH2 or EH2+.
