I'm sick of the harsh ride and price of my run flat tyres, can anybody suggest alternatives please? Currently on 225/35 and 255/30 Bridgestone Potenza.

Many thanks.

Also, does anybody know if I will unbalance the car by changing only the rear tyres? Front two still have some mileage in them.

Its a common problem and not many people like runflats.

Go to a good tyre fitters who may advise on the right tyre.

It should not put the balance out

Hi

I have just asked a run flat question on the 1 series forum.

Are the BMW rims made special for run flat tyre designs? I.e is the profile different for sealing than a standard rim ? I believe I have read this somewhere ?

Thanks

Thanks for all the advice. I went ahead and replaced all our corners with Hankooks; does anybody know where I can find recommended pressures? I should have asked the fitter but forgot. If not I will go for 32 front 30 rear, or measure what they are filled to but, I'd like to see an index if one exists.

Also, I now have two part worn 225/35s if that interests anybody. Happy to discuss condition with a potential buyer; neither are particularly good but, somebody on here may be able to do more with them than me!

im keeping RF tyres on as there isnt anywhere for a spare wheel. The idea of being suck in the middle of nowhere with no spare wheel. Nah ill keep them for now.

I changed from RF's to normal tyres, far better ride quality. Went to a scrappy and bought a spare wheel, jack and brace out of a scrapped E46, put it in a bag and left it in the boot. Doesn't take up too much space. Don't use my boot that often anyway.

What is the traction like on the 330d on normal tyres, does it increase the point that the TC cuts in? I was told that the more compliant standard tyres stay in contact with the road better and reduce skipping hence reduce the amount TC cuts in. I have the 19 inch tyres and any compliance would be welcome as it is a pretty harsh ride.

That'll be down to the compound and tread pattern as opposed to RF's vs Normal ;)

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!
