Pirelli runflats

M40CCA · 03-01-2017, 12:54 PM

Wheels I'm looking to buy are fitted with Pirelli p zero rf

Any good as run flats go?

M5 F90 (2018) · 03-01-2017, 01:32 PM

Yup im running these and they came with the 405's fitted so i could not swap them. Having been running them for over a year and given that they are RF's i have not been too disappointed. No crashing over potholes and fairly quiet etc. Grip could be better but i have been reliably informed that they are one of the better RF options. Hope it helps.

I have used them. Seemed ok to me.

Look forward to seeing pics of the new wheels when on!

They are ok but the rears are over £300 a tyre fitted and the pirelli is the only run flat option. I'm changing to non run flats in a month or so.

What Pirelli are the only runflat option on 20"

For the 225/35/20 fronts you have the choice of dunlop or Pirelli run flats, but for the rear the only run flat tyre you can buy in 255/30/20 is the pirelli p zero

Seem OK to me too.

I found Dunlop also available a bit cheaper but went for Pirelli

robbiep · 03-01-2017, 03:28 PM

I've got these on the 19" 403M wheels, and like them. Not too noisy, not too harsh either.

Mustard3 · 03-01-2017, 05:41 PM

Got them in 19". Traction off the line extremely good.

Soul_Glo · 03-01-2017, 10:09 PM

There are many different Pirelli run flats. Some better than others. We had a loan car for a month with p zero rosso and they were okay. The best run flat I have had is the Michellin PS zero pressure. I got 25k of Christian motoring out of them. They were a max performance summer tyre but so good in all seasons I left them on over winter.

Cero ceto · 03-02-2017, 12:27 AM

I would strongly consider aGoodyear RFT. Not too sure of the price as mine came with them and very impressed on 19" wheels.

Chrismac13 · 03-02-2017, 01:34 AM

I used to have the pirelli RF on the 19" had no major dramas with them, although they do state your cant repair them. So if you get a puncture most places would recommend changing the tyre. I have Goodyears RF on now & they seem to be holding up nicely.

I just bought 4x Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance for £400 including delivery from TyreLeader. Very good price and rating.

I have 19" Pirelli's that came as standard on my car. Been quite impressed with them, not too noisy or harsh. I did have a cam screw go through one of the rears, a local tyre depot repaired it about 4-5 months ago and its been fine so far. Would of been gutted if it didn't repair as it still had loads of tread on it but wondering if they should have repaired it now?

creepy coupe · 03-02-2017, 03:10 AM

I had them on my M235 with 19" rims. They're not as good as the Goodyears. but ok.

black stig · 03-02-2017, 04:46 AM

Had mine with Pirelli RFT from the factory. No base of comparison on a BMW, but no issues so far.

simon the pieman · 03-02-2017, 05:38 AM

I have a spare one for sale if anyone's interested.
It's the rear 255/30/20. Done about 2k if that.
At least 6mm tread left.

It will probably be fine, Pirelli & BMW state you shouldn't repair them but Bridgestone say you can repair theirs. So a bit of a grey area

Same. My local tyre fitter said it's fine as long as it's in the specified area like a standard tyre.
