Re: Need advise on tyres
RFT is about $200 per pc for 16". non RFT can range from $150 or less per pc to $200 or more per pc depending on brand and model. Just make sure if you decide to go for non RFT, the tires should be of XL specs for Xtra Load to fit heavier cars. Also sign up for AA or get one of those tire inflators like airman for emergency since you no longer can drive if your non RFT suffers a puncture.
to be honest, if you are on stock 16" rims, the cost difference for RFTs (bought outside PML) is not much since signing up for AA or buying those tire inflators will eat into any savings you get from switching to non RFT.

Re: Need advise on tyres
Ok that makes sense, if i were on 16" then yes stay with RFT for that price difference.
Problem is I am on 19" and its way more expensive. The rims from previous owner, so I intend to sell them and probably change back to stock 16".
Which leads me to my next qns- what's the market value of second hand 19" Breytons?

Re: Need advise on tyres
changing from runflat to non runflat is nothing wrong (other than cheaper dollars)
only thing you lost the key advantages of run flat tyre alllow you to continue driving in the event of total pressure lost.(especially for lady driver) or whose is lazy to change to spare tyre when you got a flat tyre.
In terms of safety normal tyre sudden lost of air pressure could lead to lost contro of your car when driving at high speed or negotiating corner.
imaging you replace your steerring with airbag to a steering wheel without airbag.

Re: Need advise on tyres
Value for money are Goodyear F1 & Toyo T1R. Good and cheap.
But I like Conti tyres.

Re: Need advise on tyres
Goodyear EfficientGrip. I am using now for the mention size. Made in Germany. Tyre is 30k now and
still quiet. Unless the road surface is very rough.
I think F30 335i used this model as stock Tyre.
