Just as a matter of interest, all you guys that have ditched your run-flat tyres, what is your planned solution in the event of a puncture?

Drive *slowwwly* to nearest pump, inflate, drive to quik fit. /Call AA. Punctures - only once in 50k miles

[quote=maserati3200gt] Swapped over to Yoko Parada which do make a massive difference. We need to add 7mm Spacers on the Front Wheels now to avoiding rubbing.

sorry to be thick - but WHY? why do you need to alter the track by half an inch because you changed to conventional tyres..what am i missing..?!

The Yoko is a Wider Tyre and the Chief Engineer at John Cooper suggested a spacer was necessary to avoid the rubbing of the Tyre against part of the Lowered Suspension (overall suspension dropped by 20mm)

I remember one of the very first Cooper S models I saw featured these Alpina wheels and white rear lights - looked superb I have to say.
