If you're after 19" 225/35 I have two new Bridgestone RFT's for sale

You know that some RFT can be repair, yeh?

While I'd look at this as an opportunity to GET RID OF THE RUN FLATS and get a decent set of tyres the only place I can think of in syd that won't rape you are the grey import places like taleb and stgeorge tyres.

I did, thank you and that's what they ended up doing... My tread is low though so I thought I would have to change them anyway but looks like its all good for the time being.. Cheers

I have heard a few people say that.... Is there that much difference???

I know this sounds silly but what happens if you get a flat with no spare tyre?

I used to have a modified 200sx so the BMW ride is smooth with the rft for me hehe

As pavo says, St George Tyre Service have good prices if you are after RFTs.
I recently bought two Conti 2s (225-45-17) for $420 the pair fitted and balanced - about half the price I'd found elsewhere - even worth a drive from Canberra to get them.
