Curiosity question

John320d · 11-13-2013, 06:26 AM

I am so impressed with the quietness of my new winter tyres compared to my runflats, that I am considering leaving them on permanently. Anyone else done this? I would expect to get lower mileage, but I only do 3000 per year in my 320d and I drive like an old nun. Comments please.

You would be even more impressed if you got some summer tyres for the summer then

Sell your Runflat and get some decent summer tyres considering you use them for 9 months of the year..?

But you are right, the improvement is night and day!!!

I thought exactly the same. Run flats will be sold on over the winter. And some nice new rubber purchased for the spring.
