Got mine done today, thanks for the info Sparoz. Pirelli P Zero 225/255. Andrew was very friendly however the rest were a bit clueless. And I dont believe it takes 3 hours for fitting as thats how long I waited! The discount was not great - I only got $600 for my runflats with 6000km and in very good condition. However I was already there so went ahead with it. Had I known I could have offered them to a forum member.

My 275/315 20 inch non runflats on my X5 took less than an hour.

My toe was also way out apparently.

Rant over, to the tyres:

Comfort: Only mild improvement
Grip: cornering is improved a great deal, I also find that there is not as much body roll
Traction: from a dig, much improved, much less wheelspin.

Overall am happy with the initial results but the 3 hr wait was a bit excessive I think.
