i never understood the need for these or the price associated with them, i admit it would come in handy if you get a flat on the beetham but it might cost cheaper to roll through on rims and replace those than buying run flats... :roll:

perhaps, just perhaps, not every one rolling on rims, that they can repalce just one of. and perhaps, some rims singularly, and definitely the whole set, are worth more than a set of run flats.

thinks if was steelies.............yeah, but........

Wouldn't you have to install a tyre pressure monitoring system with these run-flats?

Wouldn't this cost have to therefore be factored in when deciding on whether or not to install run-flat tyres?

No. If you don't have a TPMS in your car, then checking tyre pressures often is a good thing. :wink:

They have little dustcaps with a LED in it that blinks if the tyre pressure drops around 4psi below recommended pressure...$200TT at most for the set..if you could afford rims for $20G and tyres for $10G+..why not $200 extra?

i havent seen a runflat in less than 17 inches
but that is just me i may be wrong RFTs are generally OEM on german marques so they usually start at 17s up

i have 16inch run flats on my moms 626MX and 17inch run flats on my Galant
brought them from a used tire place in Siparia,
Tyres is 95% new and came of BMWs in Canada.

Price $250 for 225.45.17 $225 for 205.55.16

You can see when the 16inch tyres are soft or flat and they give a better ride
17inch rides hard and you will never know when they are flat.
