Tires for 19" 230's

m4freak · 03-20-2010, 01:38 AM

I have the original ones that came from BMW but its time to replace the rear tires. Anyone know of a good place to get some? Tire rack offers them but i was looking for a cheaper price, they're run flats so they're quite costly.

Run flats in general = costly, even from Tire Rack. Good luck. I went NON rft and all-season on my 230's (I live in CO, we can get snow ala yesterday but tomorrow it can be 60, all-seasons are needed for me in March/April and October...) and I like them...not a crisp a turn in though.

no more run flats for me here too..

smoother, quiet,100x less harsh and handles better.

Run flats suck. I got a emergency tire kit and nittos on the car now, car is soo much better

Possible to fit normal tires on 230?

+1 .. I also need to know if it is possible to mount normal tyres on the same OEM 230 wheels with run flats?

You most certainly CAN fit non-RF tires on. I have non-RF's on my 230's.

There is nothing special a bout the rims or tires that does not allow you to run non-RF tires.
