Looking for good replacement runflats..16"
Want to stick with runflats..

 

I don't have time to go out and look at what I got but I'm really happy with my Bridgestones. I never thought I'd say that about runflats but they are relatively smooth and they handle pretty good.

 

Just picked up my new JCW with 17 and it came with Dunlops. I was goign to switch them out for NRF but I am impressed with quiteness and ride. Need more time and dry roads for a handling evaluation. I had Bridgestones on my 2010 and they were loud and road like a rock. Might have better turn in with the stiffer side walls. Impressed with the Dunlops so far. I will keep them on till summer.

 

Didn't know there was such a thing.

 

I'm quite happy with Dunlops, although I have 17" wheels and part of this happiness is attributed to their ability to protect rims from potholes.

P.S. People bashing run-flats is getting old, imho. But hey, if you enjoy changing a flat tire on a cold dark Dec evening, after a long day in the office, when everyone else has already drove off the parking lot - more power to you....

 

There isn't - OE had Continental Conti-Pro-Contact SSR 195/55 R16 on ours and I read they were one of the best riding runflats out there. We ran them for 2,600 miles. After changing them for the non runflats in my sig - we marveled how they felt soooo much smoother before we even got out of Discount Tire's driveway. Night and day difference dudes. NIGHT AND DAY!

 

I have the OE conti's as summer tires and they are fine for "pothole city". It all depend on personal preferences (and agree with you Price, don't want to be changing tires during a winter night in Chicago!)
Dunlop's or Bridgestones are fine too.

 

There is also a big difference between High Performance Summer tires and All Seasons. My dad has a set of Bridgestone Turanza Serenity and my mom has a set of Bridgestone Potenza G19. Hers have much better grip on dry pavement and in the wet but are louder on the road. My dad wanted a better riding tire so he went with the Turanza.

Turanza - Grand Touring All-Season
Potenza - High Performance All-Season

 

And if you enjoy paying $240 to replace a non repairable runflat...more power to you.

 

Well, you've certainly thrown the cat amongst the pigeons with this.

I personally like the runflats and put these on my '06 MCS.

I'll take it you fill your Mini with regular gas cause, you know, it's cheaper?
