Run Flats on the Front and Non Run Flats on the rear on my 06 330i

Hi,

I am in the market for 2 rear tires for my 06 e90 330i. The car came with RF Tires OEM on all 4. I already have the 2 new bridgestone Driveguard RFT for the front. Do I need to go with RFT's for the rear too or can I do non RFT's too? What issues would I face by mixing RFT's on front and non RFT's in the rear?I was thinking of Continental ExtremeContact Sport (Summer tire) for the rear.

Request your valuable suggestions.

You can go either way, I just went RFT -> Non run flats all round on my 09 330i - wow what a difference it makes. The ride is actually decent now. I dont have to dive out of the way of a pebble!

In terms of are you allowed - i dont see a reason why. So long as you are aware the car will handle differently as compare to with 4 of the same tyre but if you are aware of it then it wont suprise you when it shows an odd kick here or there in a corner.
