Record price for a runflat PS2? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

///ajd · 06-15-2009, 01:31 PM

Quoted £341 for a single runflat Michelin PS2 rear tyre fitted on a 330d M Sport with 18" rims - i.e. 255/35/R18 tyre.

Main dealer. Is this a record!?

Nice to see a Stealership at it's best!

...I did say "thats too much" and it dropped to £314 fitted within 5 secs....

..."still too much" and it dropped to £304 fitted 10 secs later.

I gave up thereafter. I think they are £241 on mytyres, with the same Bridgestones £215 (inc VAT and P&P but not fitted).

What dealer mate?

Its tempting to get some of these instead...

http://www.alloywheelspin.co.uk/19-bmw-6-style-7-p.asp

at £375, then chuck on some Falken 452s in 225/35/19 (£103) & 265/30/19 (£127). All in £835 plus say £50 fitting. Can of tyreweld £10.

Then sell my genuine MV3s for what, say around £500 on the bay with runflats all round (3mm rear, 7mm front)? Total cost to change less than the price of 2 new rear runflats.

Anyone know what the offsets would be on those replicas?
