After 2 years of NON runflats michelin PS3s on my F30 30d. As this may be my last set of tyres before PX or handback on my PCP im going back to Runflats.

After a couple of hours of googling and listening to comments on here my choice was Pirelli P Zeros or Goodyear F1 assymetric 3 ,the comments from BMW Bods on here seals it and im going for Goodyear ,the runflats it came on were pig awful cant remember now if they were contis or bridgestone ,really hope these will be better.Putting the Michelins on felt like I actually had rubber not steel/concrete meeting the road.

Getting them tomorrow ill give an honest appraisal

op here.Well done about 5 miles through west london...thoughts.....perceptively more crashy ,no doubt to me its become a slieghtly more uncomfortable car again , with my AC Scnitzer springs and shocks dont think its a good fit. Maybe modern cars just arent that comfortable full stop I dont know as its many years since ive been out of the BMW bubble. Motorway on saturday lets see how intrusive the howling of the tyres are. .........................stick with non runflats

Just been on the M25 and M40 yes they are noisier and crashier than my non run flat Michelins but as far as runflats go these Goodyears are probably as good as it gets. Its not night and day as my previous were
