19" RFTs?

quiksilver1029 · 11-21-2008, 09:12 PM

i am thinking about getting some 19" wheels, but im yet to find any 19" run flat tires. im gonna go with a staggered setup with 235/35/19 front & 265/30/19 rear.

I know many people say that RFT's suck performance wise, but i cant risk having a blowout since theres no spare in the e92.

so basically if anyone could help me find a set of 19" run flat tires and TPMS, itd be great if you can post a link to tirerack or whatever.

19" RFT will make your ride suck. You should ditch RFT tires... get a new set of regular 19" tires and put a compact spare tire in your trunk.

ok well what about 18" RFTs? will they make my ride suck as bad? i just dont wanna go around with a spare in my car and have to worry about changing a tire.

RFTs totally suck, it it wasn't for my tire and rim insurance from BMW i would have gotten rid of them a long time ago, but until this insurance runs out I am stuck with them...the ride is harsh as hell and they bubble up so easily whe u hit a significant pothole..If you are buying them yourself, ditch RFTs and go with regular rubbers for sure!

I dislike them as much as everyone else, but I'm the same way. I just replaced mine yesterday.

Michelin PS2 ZP's.

Yes. They're very common as standard equipment on later '08 and current '09 E92 and E93 models.

quiksilver1029 · 11-22-2008, 10:06 AM

thats good to know about the michelins

and regardless of performance and ride quality theres no 19" RFTs?

dcwjd · 11-22-2008, 10:24 AM

yes there are 19" run flats. They come on the e92 when you get the 19" style 230 option.

As Balthazar said, yes. I like them better than Bridgestones so far.

When I get a couple hundred miles on them I plan on doing a review.

There are no RF 235/265 options for 19 inch wheels. They are only 225/255 for 19 inch wheels.

You might as well just get non-RF tires and carry a space saver spare from leatherz.com. Its a small spare that you can easily carry in the trunk.

I am running OEM 230's with GY Eagle F1 Asym. in 235/265 and carry an OEM 162 rim with RF tire for a spare when I go on long road trips.

Otherwise, I live life on the edge without RF's...

The 230's come with Bridgestone RE050A runflats. The Michelin's don't come in the 19" size the last time I looked.
