Guys,

Quick question for those that have changed to non runflat tyres, I am looking at changing to non runlflats but wondered what you have all done regarding the possibility of punctures.

Have you bought a BMW Mobility Kit or are you using something else like Finilec or something similar ?

I'm still on runflats but I went out and got a scissor jack, a tire plugger kit (yes, tire not tyre. That's how they spell it, damn yanks!!) and a portable compressor to work from the cigarette lighter. Oh and a set of pliers to remove anything that gets in the tread. Should cover emergencies regardless of whether you're run flat or not :thumbsup:

i've bought a slime kit with compressor, to fit just next to the battery, and an tyre repair kit like this https://static.webshopapp.com/shops/024 ... er-etc.jpg to fix the pucture, don't have much trust in the slime "solution" & this is giving me a much cleaner fix
