I'm wondering if I can get some oppinions regarding the tyres on my Z4.
I have been reading peoples comments on other sites too.
I need two new rear tyres 225/35/R18 90W
Many owners have moved to Non Runflats such as the Falken FK452
Anybody else done this? I would be looking at about £350 for the four Falkens or £400 for the two original Runflats.
What do you think?

check out www.falkentyres.co.uk for a good deal.
i've gone from 18" runflats to 19" normal tyres on my 3.0i Z4 and the ride has IMPROVED! You can't underestimate how much better the Z is on normal tyres. That nervousness has gone, steering feel improved and your fillings stay in!
definaitely do it! i've got 452's for info and they're pretty good - compound is a bit hard so not the ultiamte grip of some others but decent in all other aspects - especially not leaving a dent in the wallet!
best of luck.

I've binned the runflats ( 18") on my Z4 for Goodyear F1 Asymetrical. Love'em. £ 550 a set.
makes a huge difference. I've heard the F452's are history at 4mm as the tramlining comes back and they lose their stability, don't know how accurate that is, but was enough for me to buy the Goodyears.

Where did you get the F1's from for that price, was fitting included?makes a huge difference. I've heard the F452's are history at 4mm as the tramlining comes back and they lose their stability, don't know how accurate that is, but was enough for me to buy the Goodyears.

I got them fitted from Tyres Northampton Ltd in strangely enough in Northampton. I've used them for years, their service is second to none and their prices as good as any internet offer.Are they anywhere near you Ben?.
I'm in Loughborough area. Anyway, just ordered 4x Falkons online and expect delivery this week.Just need to get them fitted now.
Cheers

Been around for a while just not posted anything mate, it's a little b
hy on here sometimes but always good for a laugh;). Once you've scrubbed them feller they'll be good, like I said earlier my mate runs them on his CSL, and that thing corners like its a go-kart. Where did you get them from in the end?

Falkon on-line, best price I could find, took them to National Tyres and they fitted them for 10 quid each.hy on here sometimes but always good for a laugh;).
