Replacing all 4 run-flats with these on my 330D. Anyone any experience with them ?

Just under £400 delivered from Camskill for all 4 corners.

[MrPogle]

Had them on my 540 a couple of years ago. No complaints.

[AWBimmer]

Wow that's a great price! OP, were they brand new? What profiles did you go for?

[90MSP]

Ordered them so will post what I think once fitted.

Yep brand new. 225/40/18 front & 255/35/18 rear.

[AWBimmer]

Ah... 18s! No wonder as couldn't find those prices for 19s whatsoever ha!

[breathe3asy]

That does seem really cheap, do you know how much you're paying for fitment for total cost?

[90MSP]

About a tenner per wheel, but having a 4 wheel alignment done at the same time after the first place I took it messed it up !.

[BoondogUK]

Just fitted them to mine @ £72 per tyre + fitting

had them on an old skyline,130mph+ cornering was scary on them,the sidewalls were too thin and the car became uneasy (track of course),did look up on vredestiens site and found they required extremely high psi,although the grip is great and for road use they are fine

on my second set - great value for money

I found them very good albeit a little quick wearing. Uniroyal rainsports 3 are very similar on dry performance and price however much better in the wet.

Delivered by Camskill in a day, great looking tyre. Now with the lads at BromSpec (http://www.andovergermancarservice.com/) who will fit, 4 wheel align and replace my leaky fuel vent pipe for me whilst I sun my backside in Corfu. Result thanks to James & Phil, absolute trust and faith in them both.

Second that. They're great guys.

[90MSP]

Couple of weeks living with these and i'm impressed. Can only compare to the various makes of runflats that were all on my car at the same time, but the ride is now definitely smoother, handling just as good, noise levels reduced and rolling resistance seems better too (less of it). All in all they seem a very good tyre.

[Hulla the Hulla]

Anyone know how much lighter NRFT are compared to RFT ? That has got to help too surely ?

20 - 40% weight penalty for run flats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-flat_tire

Agree. Rainsport 3's were on my last car and they are fantastic in the wet. As 80% of the UK weather across the year is wet, then they make perfect sense for a road tyre.
