hi all,
i have just traded in my 2003 bmw E46 320d tourer and purchased a 2007 E90 320d saloon, which i will be collecting this monday afternoon. this will be the first car i have owned with run flat tyres, i have been doing a bit of research about them and they seem to get a lot of bad press, people say the ride is too harsh and you get a lot of tram lining and crashing over bumps and they generally don't like them.
i have noticed there are quite a few BMW drivers on here so i wondered what your thoughts are on them. i have read that the continentals are supposed to be one of the better run flat tyres, which is what is fitted to the car i am getting, but they are the Premium Contact SSR's which i believe are the budget ones.
so i was just wondering what other peoples thoughts are and what to expect.
have they improved at all in recent years.
Cheers
