While we are talking on this topic, does anyone know what's the difference between Run flat tyres and Reinforced tyres? I'm thinking about ditching the run-flat and move back to conventional tyres for ride comfort, came across some called reinforced at blackcircles.com. Not sure if I need a space saver for those, can anyone help? Thanks.

Hello all,
I have a 535d E61 with 18" wheels.
The ride with RFT's is is terrible (too harsh) so I decided to change to Reinforced/extra-load tyres and it is much much better now (ride confort and handling).
I needed to adjust tire pressure upward a couple of lbs/psi. I'm not over the recommended settings on the sticker on the driver door . The higher the pressure the hardest ride you get. so you need to find a good compromise

I usually use around 32-35
i use 34 front 36 rear, 17 inch P7 normal tyre.. runs better than run flat and it gain 20more miles on the clock per full tank of fuel.
