I picked up a couple of non run flat tires for our 2004 Mini Cooper S (allow OEM 17" wheels). Then... I read somewhere that I would need different wheels to put the non-run flats on our car. True?

thanks,

Not true at all.

Whew, thanks folks. That's good to hear. Much appreciated!

Just Kidding
Not true at all
Theres much better handling Non-runflat tires out there, for far less money too.

Nope this not true ..and all u need in the boot is the flat tire repair kit..

omg i saw the title of this thread, and was like OMG because this weekend I took the leap away from the run flats.. I never thought I would, always stalwart, never going to go from runflats.. blah blah.. but then in another thread, and I have been watching tire threads for a year fretting over this.. flipping out.. panicking.. but reading this other thread, and the confidence over there about the tires, peoples choices, led me to try it. I need to get the flat tire repair kit. All I could think when I saw this was, oh here we go again, another sumthing to worry about with the new tires.. because someone brought up sidewalls in the other thread, and although I came away with, no worries about the sidewalls.. I still have that inner itch of concern..
