Which is the best brand for Run-flat Tyre?

[BMW Pursuit]

Hi bros,

Which is the best brand of tyre? Or are the different brands pretty much the same?

This is also a question that is plaguing me. Should it be Bridgestone, Continental or Pirelli?

Actually, besides getting you to a tyre repair facility safely in the event of a puncture, aren't run flats compromised in most other ways? i.e. Heavier, noisier, more uncomfortable, less dynamic (for driving) and perhaps more expensive than a similar non-run flat tyre?

Are convenience and safety the 2 biggest reasons for choosing run flats?

I am using Michelin Primacy, not too bad but bit expensive

Facing the fact that my F10 does not have a spare wheel steered me to getting runflats. Yes, the ride seems harsher than normal tyres but at 18" the prices are not that much higher.

I was quoted non-runflat Continentals CSC5 for 305/tyre, versus runflat CSC3e SSR for 320/tyre. No brainer for the peace of mind.

Right - but that eats into my boot space for road trips, which is not ideal.

I too just changed to Michelin Primacy, and the ride is smoother and softer as well as markedly reduced road noise.

I carry an electric pump and 2 different puncture repair kits.

Anyone use it before? The reviews were mixed but wanted to see what you guys think.

Am using the CSC 3e now and have to say that not entirely comfortable with them. Will be keeping a look-out to try other RFT models after the current set wear out.

Using normal GY F1 AS3 245/40R18 front and RF GY F1 AS3 255/40R18 rear on my F30 335. have good experience with GY RF tyre as the technology for RF have improved a lot. earlier RF on my E60 and E90 really bad. Now I may change my front to RF for the next change as prices have also come down to about 15% above normal.
Good experience with Pirelli P7 RF too.
