Has anyone taken runflat tires off a BMW 645ci?What did you replace them with?

I have a BMW 645ci with the OEM Goodyear Eagle GSA Runflats,these tires cost $400 each,trying to find them cheaper,or trying to change them to non-runflats,has anyone changed them,if so what's te pro's and cons of changing?Has anyone taken runflat tires off a BMW 645ci?What did you replace them with?replace with runflats could void your insurance if you change to normal tiresHas anyone taken runflat tires off a BMW 645ci?What did you replace them with?The six series is a sports coupe. Why would you buy such a car and then expect the tires to be cheap?



If you read your manual it tells you not to use anything other than run flat.Has anyone taken runflat tires off a BMW 645ci?What did you replace them with?You don't have to keep run flat tires. You do have to replace them with the same performance level tires, ie speed rating etc. If you're a spirited driver I would try Pirelli P-Zero tires. If you live where it's going to get cold and possibly snow this winter get their winter offering, the Sotto Zero.



They are soft compound tires and will wear more quickly than harder tires. Michelin Pilot Sport tires are an excellent choice. as are Dunlop Winter Sport M-3s. I believe these are right at $200 per tire.Has anyone taken runflat tires off a BMW 645ci?What did you replace them with?
You can replace them with just about anything that will fit, however, I don't suggest it becuase the cars with run flat tires don't come with a spare tire. So if you ever do run over something that will cause a flat you are stuck. You have no tools to jack up the car to get it off the rim, and you have no spare tire to put on. If you leave the run flats on if you do hit something you can drive a couple hundred miles at 50 miles per hour. Basically enough time to get you out of harms way and get a new tire on.
