Got the new tyres on....

[DIE-M3]

are any of the above a genuine 'run flats' without a spare I have been looking for some time, without success. Opted for P zero Rosso's. Surprised the 275 fits.

Based on what most people say about run flats completely messing up the ride and handling of a car you don't want them.

I've got a space saver spare in the boot of my RS4 - using parts from Audi. I've posted the details many times before ...

As mentioned above will the only difference be ride comfort and potentially more grip due to the change in size or are there other things to consider?

Anyone? i need to order very soon!

And the tyres on my dirty car....

[pippyrips]

Rob - what tyre pressures are you running them on??

[tartan_rob]

38 all round, but I do a lot of motorway miles. About 450 a week. Have played with front higher than rear, but that can loosen up the rear and I don;t like the car with a loose back end.

Rob. what changes if any to the economy?. I may get a set of these.

I have only done about 300 miles now but notice no differance whatsoever in fuel economy. Having said that, the Wife had the car on Sunday and she said "Don't know what you have done but your car has loads more grip". She drives a 2.5Tdi normally and does not drive that hard...

Sounds like the tyres suit the Car then.

Does she mean sharper turn-in? I find it difficult to get into grip-exhausting situations in my car and I drive it pretty hard. That is on the standard size P-zeros. I think turn-in could definitely be better though and I suspect the goodyears have a much stiffer sidewall allowing for this.

Sounds promising, i ordered my set today so should be on within the week

Coincidently if my Mrs came home and started discussing grip levels i would fall off my seat

Alex - I notice a better turn-in over the Michelins. The Mrs just said there is loads of grip, when I asked to explain , she said she was distracted going into a tight right hand corner and went in too fast, 60mph instead of 30/40mph and she just yanked the steering sheel, the car gripped and went round. It did not seem to slip at all.

Her explanation, not mine...!

OOoops, keep her out of it she could put a dent or two in it Aye.

Guys, I cant recommend these tyres enough!! Feels like a different car - although that could be partly due to the old ones only having 2-3mm left!
I got them from Mitcheldever Tyres, £600, fitted, with 4 wheel laser tracking - SALE OF THE F*CKING CENTURY!
