Simple as that, really - is there any easy way to find out which other vehicle types they would fit?

I have a set of tyres I have decided not to fit so I'd like to sell them on, but as they're runflat Winters they're quite specialised so it would probably be easiest to advertise them on OC sites in the first instance.

Any ideas anyone?

Type the tyre size into google and see what you get.

Yes, I thought they fitted certain BMWs, but was wondering if there were others - nothing comes up on the search.

Type the size into ebay and see what people are listing them as to suit.

Legacy uses 215/45-17. Not a great difference. Not aware of them using runflats but might appeal to someone.

That's one of the most common sizes on the road but the fact they are runflats limits the vehicles they can be fitted to, the car should have a pressure monitoring system fitted if it has runflats etc, I think eBay and BMW forums will be your best bet

Good thought - just looked no dice on the part worn ones though.
