My 340i Touring is getting some new tyres soon as I have done 30k in it so far.

It has pzero run flats at the moment but I want to move away from run flats to avoid road noise etc.

If I fit normal tyres does anything need to be changed reference the tyre pressure monitors or anything else or is just change the wheels and drive the thing? I assume so?

Any other 340i drivers changed yet and if so what to and why?

Thanks in advance.

Makes no difference which engine your F30 has. Just put the new tyres on and drive.
I realise the engine makes no difference but wondered if other 340i drivers have changed tyres yet as the model is only about 18 months in and not many private owners would have done 30k plus.

Any issues with changing the rears to non run flats but keeping the fronts on run flats (the fronts have plenty of life left in them)?

i have always rated uniroyals rainsport 3’s but they only do a 235 for my fronts not a 225.

I have asked on a different thread but thought the bmw guys would also have an opinion on this.

Apart from the clearence in the arch and the wheel liner any other reason not to do it?
