Bimmer Tire Question

[Jimbeaux]

I have read the tire recommendations for years here. However, I am about to put new feet on the 04 Z4 and need an up-to-date opinion please.

Are replacing runflats with standard tires still a good idea?

Are any handling chatacteristics sacraficed by doing this?

Are Falkens a good choice?


Thanks!

Yes,
No,
Apparently, along with Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics

Not heard of anyone regretting it. I'd recommend it.

Good to hear this; thanks for the quick reply!

You're welcome. Footnote: my local tyre fitter warned me that there was a risk of damaging the rims in removing rfts which had been on so long (04). He did it ok but best go somewhere you trust.
