Aftermarket wheels w/o runflats

kwakr738 · 05-22-2008, 08:39 AM

To all the drivers with aftermarket wheels w/o runflats. How do you manage your flat tires, or what precautions do you take in case you get a flat.

Thanks!

Yep, I'd recommend getting a fix a flat kit, both BMW and Continental offer great options.

You can also purchase a donut to keep in the back of you don't mind wasting a bit of trunk space.

+2 or so... That's what I have in the trunk. It fits perfectly, and while I suspected that it would go flying after my first hard right turn this has not been the case, it's in there pretty damn good, no worries.

Nice pics. Glad to see they fit in there so nicely!

BMW Assist totally forgot about that

Thanks for the recommendation of the BMW/ContiComfort kit. Did you guys buy the tire sealant separately? If so, what is a good brand?

I apologize for my inability to read thoroughly. The sealant is actually part of the compressor. GENIUS!!
