I'm changing my thoughts on run-flat tires. I used to dislike run-flat tires. However, this year, I changed my outlook on them. For a something my wife may drive, it could serve as a benefit. Watch the video to find out more! #runflattires

Safety over performance

You should post some vids racing the Range Rover! Would be interesting to see how it compares to other cars

@BocaAtractivo82 5 ай бұрын

On point. If a car is designed to be outfitted for RFTs, best stick to RFTs - because if you are ever in that situation, you'll be safe compared to shredding a flat tyre and damaging your wheels which will cost you additional (possibly way more money) expense.

Ive gotten run flats on both my summer sets and winter set of wheels just cause of my new born baby.

Thanks for your analysis ... I have a BMW X5 and have come to the same conclusion.

runflat on 20 or 21 inch wheels for the m40i would be brutal for bay area freeways, so many potholes, and bumpy / jittery as a daily driver ; 19 inch will be be a better choice for the vehicle - it seems to make quite a difference

@eddiemcars 3 күн бұрын

I agree. I will admit that the ride is a bit choppy with the 21” run flats even in comfort mode.

@orresearch007 2 күн бұрын

@@eddiemcars Eddie you are kind to have commented. I would think that safety is even more of a concern than comfort. With the short sidewalls on 20/21" tires, it is quite easy to experience a burst over a pothole or even a bump on these bay area roads runflat or not. As I grew older safety overrides the "cool" or "extreme performance" factors. 19" made so much difference, you probably should give it some thoughts. Cheers, W.

I just had a blowout on the freeway on rfts got off and drove the local streets till my destination and changed my tire without any towing and i mean a complete blowout a gold ball sized chunk gone from my tire

@aio306 5 ай бұрын

I agree with you in regards of run flat safety. After I changed my X5 f15 2018 to non run flat, the comfort & price outweigh the safety issue. keep in mind tha I'm the primary driver of the car & I don't travel alot. cheers

After you destroy one of your rims blowing out a tire you will not think this. Horrible choice! And it's not if, it's when!

Which tires is better Michelle or continental....for bmw x5

@mkong3 5 ай бұрын

It's not about the brand but the specific model you choose. IMO, for the best performance, a dedicated summer and winter wheelset is important. I have Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Pirelli Scorpion Winter (RFT) tires at the moment.

I have a crazy idea. If want to be safe for your family and not get a flat tire don’t put low profile tires on your car.

@eddiemcars Ай бұрын

Low-profile tires are just as resistant to flats as any other type of tires.

@rob1261a Ай бұрын

@@eddiemcars What are the downsides of low profile tires? You actually increase the likelihood of blowouts and tire failure on rough roads and potholes. Because low-profile tires don't have as much space to absorb the impact of bumps, ruts, objects or potholes, it's not uncommon for low-profile tire failure to coincide with catastrophic wheel and rim damage.
