Alternative To Runflats

EACA · 02-09-2011, 07:28 PM

Hi Guys,

Got a friend who owns a X5 and her runflats are due for replacement.

Got quoted $3000 to replace 4 of them!!!

Any suggestions on an alternative for runflats.

Any advice would be great.

Thank you in advance

try www.tirerack.com

I was happy with their service and price.

I love the shock these people get when their big 4wd needs new tyres. Surely it must be time to trade it for a new one!

Tirerack were very good, but for tyres that size you will pay tax or extra postage, so factor that in.
