[quote name='colejl' date='Feb 28 2005, 12:51 PM'][quote name='pughmat' date='Feb 28 2005, 05:33 PM']I'm replacing my runflats....terrible wear and excessive noise. Since my 2005 530i has a spare (17" donut type spare) I don't "have" to use a runflat tire. (I'd heard some 5 series cars were coming without a spare)

It looks like BMW themselves have dropped the Dunflaps in favour of the Bridgestones... I've heard all good things about the bs's so it's worth investigating.

That's great if true, however, my local dealer has a lot of cars with Dunlops. Any idea when they stopped using Dunlops? My car is in production right now.

Sorry, nothing concrete - only what I've deduced from recent posts. If BMW are having to replace lots of them then it makes sense too...
