Arrow Run Flat tires vs Normal tires - dealer cut away carcuss...

Last week when i was over at that fabulous German dealer in Sinsheim... IanC asked me IF I had any side profile photos of a RFT vs a Normal tire carcass. In my haste, to take pics of all the great cars on display there... I had forgotten to take a side profile pic of the RFT.

Today I was over at my local German dealer... and they had that same display from BMW. Showing a regular tire vs a RFT. I came with my camera ready! The RFT is so much more reinforced and stiffer then a normal tire.

Enjoy the pics.


Normal tire(non RFT) is on the LEFT, Run Flat Tire(RFT) is on the RIGHT!

I gotta say I know everyone here seems to dislike the OE RFT... but I really like them. At least on the glass smooth roads over here in Germany.
