Tyres again, sorry - Non run flat

[petrolhead]

Getting used to my new Z4 35i, however I feel the car would handle better on non run flat tyres.

I am Running Bridgestone Pontenza RE050A's at the moment and they just lack feel and grip. This seems to be confirmed looking at Tyre Review web site - http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Bridgestone/Potenza-RE050A.htm

So I am considering either Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 (Had these on my MX5 and was very please with them) or Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Both get good reviews. Just wonder, looking at the treads that the Goodyear may be better in the wet, something we get a lot here in the North East

I will need a kit in case I get a flat. Can anyone recommend one? edit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/171080144926?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&rlsatarget=&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108

So what are the views going to non run flat (Yes I know I will need to inform my insurance) and which tyres are best for the Z4

I run Goodyears on my E85 and they are a massive improvement over the run flats.
I got a kit from ebay, just a couple of cans to keep in the boot. They work ok, got me from work to the tyre place recently after a nasty puncture.

+1 on the GoodYears - seem very popular on the Forum and not a bad price at the moment.

Is Camskill still the cheapest place to buy them from

Just bought 4 x Michelin PS3 from oponeo....they worked our £27 cheaper than Camskill but it's the first time I've used them so fingers crossed

Had the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 on the 23i and was very happy with them

Fitted Michelin PSS to mine the week of purchase. Transformed the ride.
Fully fitted price and Halfords came out the cheapest to my surprise but that included a promo voucher.

My PSS are in my garage and I'll certify them today or tomorrow. I'll vote then.

I don't buy Goodyear.

Best to check Camskill and Black Circles - it varies from 225 to 255s from both firms.

And the F1s get an impressive score for wet grip - we've had some very wet Forum hoons in Wales and the Pentland Hills and the GoodYears were impressive at both.

I have Super Sports on my weekend toy - best tyre I've driven on . . . . . ever.

Have gone and ordered some Goodyears £383 delivered from Camskill
