Flexfer Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Greetings everyone, Apologies, I searched, but I couldn't seem to locate a clear solution. In 2008, I owned an E91 Edition M Sport. The front features Bridgestone Potanza S001 Run Flats, while the rear features a combination of inexpensive brands that are evidently impacting the handling. Finding something suitable in the right size—255/35/18—has been a real challenge for me while looking to replace the rear tires with ones that match the fronts. When I had an e90 edition m sport in 2013, run flats in less popular sizes were easy to get by. Now, it appears like they're much difficult to find! Could someone please give me some advice on what to do or what tools to use? Can I obtain a tyre of a different size, please? Should I not combine run flats with non-run flats? I believe I'm correct in saying so. In advance, I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMH757 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Are non-runflats places you'd be open to visiting? If that's the case, I'll go that path; in the twelve years that I've had my E91, I've avoided runflats for the most part. Last time, I splurged on Costco's Goodyear Asymmetrics.

MDMH757 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I wouldn't put front and rear wheels on the same axle, but it's fine otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexfer Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Much obliged for the response! I'm content to choose non-run flat as I don't perceive any significant advantage to them anyhow! Do you mean I could switch out the front runflats—which are brand new after a pothole disaster—for regular tyres and maintain the back normal tyres? Since the fronts are brand new, I would like not to replace them all at once if at all possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMH757 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago If you can keep from swerving left and right over the axle, then by all means, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMH757 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Inexpensive as Camskills may be, be wary of delivery and fitting costs. They do, however, provide a wealth of information on which "A" certified Wet Grip options are out there, so you may choose wisely. Non-runflats are more likely to be grippier and quieter, so savour the comfort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
