Run flat winter tyres for M Sport

Hey guys, just looking for a little advice here.

I've ordered a UK spec 123d M-Sport with 17" wheels (front 205/50 R17; rear 225/45 R17) as a company car.

Because the Company will own the car, I dont want to spend a lot of money on replacement or spare wheels. Does anyone know of any run-flat winter tyres that will fit this wheel size? If not could I use non-rft winters on the standard rims?

Many thanks guys,

Graeme

Contact your local tire supplier. I'm sure like in Germany there are different tires to be had in this market vs. the US market. You could also go to the UK versions of tire makes to see what they offer. BMW will probably have winter tire pacakges available when needed.
