What to do w/RF after replacing them?

Hello,

Newbie here...first post. (Woohoo!)

Dumb question: What do you guys do with the run flats after you replace them?

A little background, I just ordered a Clubman S this past Tuesday. I don't like the RF tires. From this forum, it seems like I have a lot of good options for replacing them. So the RF's will be pretty new still.

Thanks in advance.

Sell them.. They aren't cheap. Put them up here in the marketplace section.

Hmmm...good suggestion. I guess that's a good option, make some money back from buying the replacement tires.

My recommendation: Either sell them right now, with the wheels, or keep them on the car until they're worn out.

The weather's not right at the moment, but soon, they'll be very good for breeding
mosquitoes and spreading WNV. Just set them out in the yard on their sides.

I think I'll just drive on them till they're worn.

Thanks for everybody's input.
