Re: Run flat or non run flat tyres
RE070 maybe better than PSS in many aspect but wear rate and resistance to aqua-planning still PSS wins.
Btw, Potenza RE070 comes in RFT now?
Bridgestone RE070 is a league above Michelin PSS lor i.e. Extreme Performance and Maximum Performance respectively.arsenal62;991223 said:

Re: Run flat or non run flat tyres
Would insurance rather replace RFT (more ex) or non RFT when there is a genuine claim?

Re: Run flat or non run flat tyres
I just change from run flat to non. So much nicer the ride.

Re: Run flat or non run flat tyres
is nothing wrong to switching to normal tyre which give you better comfort (does not applied to Z4)
more choice of tyre at lower cost.
BUT you were not ENJOY the Main advantage of runflat tyre which allow you to continue drving with lower or zero pressure.
But your runflat tyre still need to be check by tyre shop for leak and Patch (internal repair)if possible

Re: Run flat or non run flat tyres
I am having the same delima, Not sure if I should switch to normal tires. I have Run Flat now and have had no problems, have had 3 or 4 nails and the pressure sensor came on and got the tire fixed the next day, no stress. I agree the tires are hard and the ride is a bit rough, compared to normal tires. but peace of mind for sure.
Anyone had a flat tyre with normal tires in singapore on a F10 without a spare? what did you do?

Re: Run flat or non run flat tyres
On one of my previous tire puncture episodes - Drove slowly with my spare tyre in the trunk to the tyre shop.
The worst episode - The tyre burst while I was heading down the entrance of tampines mall and the car slated all the way to the left. Very noisy.
Despite turning the steering wheel all the way to the right .... The car continued to scrape the wall on the left all the way down to B1.
After that tried to jack the car up in the CP to change to the spare etc. The jack is crap.
In the end negotiated my way up the ramp and out of the CP and made my way to the tire shop slowly via small roads. Stopped at petrol stations to pump air along the way.

Re: Run flat or non run flat tyres
I replaced my stock PS2 with new set of PS2 and the new tyres give a much more quieter and comfortable ride than before. Hence, it is a common misconception that only changing to non RFT will give a significant improvement in ride comfort. The tyre shop shared with me that PSS will in fact be noisier and less comfortable especially in the long run.

Re: Run flat or non run flat tyres
I am also in a dilemma as to whether to change to RFT or Non RFT. I got feedback that Non RFT are definitely quieter and more comfy as compare to RFT due to the thicker wall that they have. Another factor is the cost. In the event if i got a punctured tyre on the RFT, best is to tow it to the nearest tyre shop.

Re: Run flat or non run flat tyres
I went with RFT on my current ride after years of using top charters of non-RFT e.g. RE-11, AO22. Well, 3rd/4th Gen RFT are not as noisy or uncomfortable as those in the past, those were the old days of 1st and 2nd gen RFT.
It is based on each own's preferences of what is priority.kyubi;1046448 said:

Re: Run flat or non run flat tyres
If you drive out of SG often, it would be safer to use RFTs.
I'm on my 3rd set of RFTs.
Why the need to tow car when RFT puncture?
When mine had OBC prompt.....drove slowly about 60-70 kph to
nearest tyre shop.
