Any 19" runflats out?

mikey_b · 06-04-2007, 09:47 PM

Hey
I was looking at 19"s for my 335 and want to stay with runflats. Is there anything out?

Do you really want/need run flats? I usually tell people they should just go with non-rft. I've ran one of my non-rft tires at about 70mph on the freeway for a little while before I even noticed it. I smelled it before I could even notice a difference in driving.

will cost more than the price u pay for the wheels.

Well I do the LA to Vegas run often and since there is no spare. My car has the pressure sensors so Id know if it was flat.

Yah but so do pilots. The whole not having a spare thing is the main reason.

I was on tirerack and found the black 19" Breyton Race GT wheels and just used the option to find matching tires and nothing came up in the RFT. I'll look into the Bridgestones

thanks

Check the bridgestone RE050A. It comes in RFTs since BMW has a 19 inch option everywhere else

You could always wrap a tire up and throw it in the back seat or trunk on such long trips. That is what I do, since I don't run a spare.

True that may be what I end up doing

thanks

And when I say tire, I mean, the entire wheel (rim/tire). Just so there is no confusion, haha.
