According to the pricelist the 244 is with RFT. I totally agree with you about RFT!

Run Flat Tyre, also called DSST, RFC and so on. Tyres that can be driven on even it had a puncture. My opnion and experience is that they totally sucs!
The other tyre that blew went at 110 mph and was safe I slowed down to the required 50 kmh and got to a garage this tyre was a Bridgestone Reo50.

my first trip in my new bimmer will be to the local tyre shop to change the RFT for some nice michelens. They will take the RFT's from me and I will give them a small amount of cash and I will be much happier.....
have never had RFT's but I wont ever have them from having read so many poor reviews.
What I havent seen much info on is that they weigh signifcantly more than non rft's adding to the unsprung weight which surely must affect (I'm guessing) the suspension and handling negatively. Anyone agree ???

By the way, my comment about rutted roads is now less of a problem. Found a nail in the right front tyre after it told me I had a puncture (was just a bit low on pressure rather than flat). Pumped it back up and it handles a lot better now. Seems RFTs are very critical on tyre pressure. It was only about 0.3 Bar too low and that made it tramline and follow cambers quite badly.

No, ditch the RFT, they make noise and consumes so much more fuel! I don't run on them, I measured on both the E90 and the two E61, approx 0,1 l/100km on both models difference between RTF and normal.

I have not oem tinited on my, I think "solfilm" is bether because it is darker. I looked at that but you can se trough it. With the station wagon I like that it is not so obviouse what you have in the back of the car with the darker film than the oem tint.
I bought my bike at Segeltorp.
