No all season runflats available?

LetsRock · 03-15-2012, 09:49 AM

I am looking some new runflats for my wife's E90. She is running a staggered 18" setup, but I can't find any all-season runflats. I ordered a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT RunFlats from TireRack, but they are backorded and the date has been pushed back to 5/19/2012.

I have the same set up and I searched for another set a while ago and I believe the Bridgestone's are the only all-season run flats for the staggered 18" set up.

Unfortunately, there are no run flat all-season tires currently available in both 225/40R18 and 255/35R18. The soonest any tires is to be available is mid May for the RE960A/S RFT. If you absolutely cannot wait until then, you can use 225/40R18 both front and rear with the all-season Bridgestone Turanza EL-400 02 RFT. Yes, it fits both the front 8" and rear 8.5" wide wheels.

Damn!!! I wish I knew that you could put the same tires on both size rims before I bought staggered Conti's for my E92xi.
