at least you were almost ready for a change. I got screwed on 3rd day on new tyres in new car, at first I thought it was another alloy crack from a pothole that jumped out at me the day before... swore a lot.

Tim.
Why get towed home? :?
I guess I wouldn't if only 2 miles from home but if some distance it might be worth it if I was looking at repairing a runflat. BMW recommend you don't repair them as they could be potentially damaged when driven whilst flat and I suspect a get out clause on their part for any compensation claims should the tyre fail after a repair.

Are they 18 or 19 inch though? 19 inch is where prices leap up!
FabZ4 has the same 293 18" as me!!
It was his price i said was robbery, not your 19"
No worries.. Daylight robbery these run flats, whatever the size but 19" are just silly money..
Anyhow they're on now.. No doubt ill drive like miss daisy and then after a bit just drive full speed lol
