My Ride: On order 530D Platinum Bronze/Natural Brown Comfort seats,sunroof,PDC, Nav pro,Aux In,Xenons, Alarm, tinted glass.
ETD 27.06.07
Having uploaded the pics for your edification, now the first question. The new girl comes with Dunlop SP Sport 01 225/50 R17 Run Flats (I was half expecting Goodyear) and then I open the boot and in the well there's a Continental Temporary Tire T135/80 with a warning to inflate to 60psi and keep below 80 kph.
What's going on? Surely we don't have to change to a temp tire when the run flat goes ....flat?

This is the great EU - RF's and a spare. 
I have a spare too. But in the wintertime I run with non RF's and soon in the summer also.
Good thing with the Dunlops are, that they are pretty silent running tyres.
225/50 17" is the best choice for a E60. 18" or 19" looks better but...

A 17" alloy full size spare wheel?
If so, put in your garage since you have RF's.
