What brand of tires are they on your 550i 19" with the Aero package or M-package? Are they run flat? When I order my 535i, I saw a 550i in the show room with M package, don't know if it's run flat or not, but it's got a spare tire (donut) in the trunk. Just wondering if these are actually run flat or not if there is a spare tire. Plus when I am searching in tire rack, they don't offer any run flat on the 19" with OEM specs. Why is that?

The reason I am looking at these 19" tires is that I am looking go with 19" for the summer on my 535i and like to see if there is any run flat out there for the OEM size...

Main Question: Are there any run flat on 172??

I don't know......... but someone here will. RF are rough riding, I can't imagine that a RF with the profile of the Contis would be a very pleasant experience.
