OMG - Love my run flats
Sold my 135 as the lease was high, wasn't driving it to get any benefit. With the 135 I ditched the Bridgestone RE050 run-flats for PSS...a fantastic upgrade.
NOW Couldn't work out what to buy as a cheap 2nd car then stumbled across a 130i. Besides being 95% of a 135 for a 3rd the price the P-Zero runflats are awesome. Quiet, rides well and grip is V high! Perhaps the extra power of the 135 makes the difference but highly recommend the P-Zero run flat for 130i Last edited by 1BimmerNut; 08-21-2014 at 06:15 AM.. |

I had a completely different experience with the P-Zero run flats on my 125i. Had them after the Bridgestone S001 run flats and the bridgestones were a hell of a lot better.
The P-Zero were a little quieter but the grip wasn't as outstanding in both wet and dry conditions. Had enough of runflats after that and just got myself a set of nitto invo tyres, world of difference. |

that's strange
My 130 has option 18's and with a 2nd hand car it may had had suspension upgrades don't know but I took it out of town on a favourite (old) road on a wet quiet day and pushed as hard as I dare and was stunned how good the car and tyres are. The balance and grip was beyond sane road limits -IMHO better than my 135. And I have never liked Pirelli's before on any car until the Scorpion Verdes on the wifes truck and now the P-Zero rft

i loved my bridgestones on my 135. didnt know what all the hate was about. they dont last long ok but everything else was great about them.
I ended up getting a set of michi PSS and then the car felt like it was a boat.. tyres too soft compared to the hard runflats, made all the difference to the handling. |

I put the PZero's on the X5 and I would agree, they are great for run flats.
The ride is good, but grip may not be as good as non-runflats, but apparently BMW are fitting them to X5M's, so they can't be too bad. |

I like my RFT's, dont know what all the fuss is about. I rekon some clever suspension work would be more beneficial for handling, such as m3 bits etc.
