BMW sells a mobility kit which sits nicely next to the first aid kit.

Does anyone have an idea on Oz pricing for the PS2?

You would have thought they'd gone USB by now!

I have those sizes on my stock wheels. The PS2s are great tires and I love mine very much.

That looks good and is probably what I'm after. Not sure if it's available in Oz though and these people won't send outside the US.

If you want to use non-runflats just pay a visit to Supercheap and pick up a can of tyre sealant and a small 12V compressor. It'll get you out of trouble if you pick up a small leak through the tread. A large hole in the sidewall will require a call to BMW Assist. Keep in mind that if you use the tyre sealant, most tyre shops won't repair it for you and you could be up for a whole new tyre rather than a patch. Same deal with RFTs though.

BTW I went three years with non-RFTs on my MINI and never had need of the goo or compressor. Actually I DID use the compressor ... for pumping up footballs!
