New runflats

dr.bmw · 01-31-2010, 01:38 PM

I know this topic has been brought up numerous times before, but maybe something has changed in the recent months
Need to replace my rear tyres. Not because they're worn out but too many punctures, one too close to sidewall to fix.
What are the best runflats and where to get them in Sydney?
Not looking forward paying over $900...

aus135i · 01-31-2010, 02:02 PM

i think u can get abt 7xx ish from most places... (im talking abt OEM)

dr.bmw · 01-31-2010, 03:38 PM

JaxFixtyres quoted $465 each for the Bridgestones oems
I'm hoping i can find a cheaper deal and (perhaps) a better tyre

pech135 · 01-31-2010, 03:47 PM

excuse to get a nice set of gram lights perhaps?

If your keen on staying with RFT's there is an RFT variant of the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 available. I'd give the guys at JAXquickfit a call, just do some research on the tyres your after & i've found them to be very competitive on quotes.

sparoz · 01-31-2010, 08:53 PM

There is also a PZero RFT, and I have Dunlops that came with the car which I thought was better than the Bridgestone on my wifes.

dr.bmw · 02-01-2010, 12:09 AM

After much deliberation, settled on Pirelli PZeros
Anyone knows where to get them from in Sydney? Tempe tyres quoted $360 but closest shipment in 1.5 months away... JaxQuickFix are full of shit and tell me Pirelli runflats only come in all weather Euphorias... and Tyrepower are crapping on saying PZero's aren't available in Oz.
Crap, I might just have to bite the bullet and import them myself! only need the rears tho atm

Why not, AUD is so good and it would be less than $1000 so no GST.

Taymaishu · 02-01-2010, 02:36 AM

LOL Tyrepower saying PZero's aren't available!?

I was quoted @ JaxQuickFit Mona Vale for PZero Rosso's (225/45/17) @ $319 a tyre.

You can get the Nero's for $247 per tyre, same size, same place.

dr.bmw · 02-01-2010, 06:19 AM

I suspect those weren't runflats

pech135 · 02-02-2010, 11:48 PM

those are relatively good prices? any real differences from the bridgestones?

also, be aware wheel sensors need to be reinstalled correctly when changing the tyres over... you looking at 17s or 18s?

Not in Aus as we don't have TPMS.

Yeah, not RFTs, my apologies.

I was quoted at over $450 a corner for the NCT5's which are a junk of crap anyway.

You know what I mean.

Although it is quite different to the TPMS that they have in the US 1ers.

My challenge for today is to use the phrase "are a junk of crap" in a meeting.

I encourage you all to accept this challenge

Should be added to the "Wank-Word Bingo" list of phrases. That's make it much more challenging.

Actually, all my ex-bookeepers are a junk of crap. They can't even file properly. I have to redo a whole years worth of books.
