Michelin Pilot Sport 2 Run Flats for 330D M Sport

as7920 · 11-06-2007, 03:47 PM

Hi,

Does anyone know of a supplier with any stock of the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 Run Flats (255/35/ZR18 Y90 ZP) for my 06 330D M Sport Touring Auto?

There seems to be a (inter)national shortage of these particular tyres and the only alternatives I can get are the Bridgestone 050A.

I have tried the main tyre dealers, Kwik-Fit, National, Black Circles, eTyres, Event Tyres, Hi-Q, ATS and even my local BKW dealers don't have any.

I have complained to Michelin and they said that there won't be any more until the end of November.

Anyone know any small or local dealers with some stock left?

Thanks in Advance.

Mark.

I'd be interested to see how you get on with the PS2 RFTs - if you can get hold of any. You could try www.micheldever.co.uk as well

Good luck!

I have had exact same issue in past with my last car - E90 330d. I have always used "Total Tyres" in Binfield (near Bracknell) 01344 489396 they have always manged to either have the tyres I need or source them pretty quickly. Worth a call if your stuck.

Although, judging from the latest update on the fandango wheel situation they might not actually be the RIGHT tyres.

The guy who fitted my tyres today seemed pretty well connected and he reckoned that there were no Michelin PS2 run flats anywhere right now.

are michelin any good then? i had fitted earlier bridges

Bumps · 11-08-2007, 01:09 PM

Doesn't answer your question directly as7920, but if you're changing all 4 then the Bridgies are pretty good IMHO and not a bad alternative if you're really stuck.

Strange syntax .. you sound like Yoda.

also Bridgestone fit I - young Fandango.

Speak of michelin highly many do hens teeth they are like

scottc · 11-08-2007, 02:04 PM

Are you guys not tempted to go with non run flats???

If any of you have what are you doing for a spare? Or are you using a can of tyre weld??

I had no temptation to get normal tyres at all.

I'll probably change cars before I replace this set and I reckon trade in will be better with the proper tyres.

elite tyres at rainham or arrow tyres on 01273 515128 ask for dave or neil

Wont make any difference to trade in - Not something a dumb ass salesman would notice

scottc · 11-08-2007, 03:30 PM

Olih,

What do you have in the car incase of a flat??

Not sure .. I thought they might pick it up and use it as a reason to knock the price down.

To be honest, I'm happy with the handling on runflats, so not that fussed about changing.

I was all set to hate them, but I just don't.

Have changed to PZero Neros non runflats - and the ride is so much better. Carry a pump and tyre weld in the back just in case.

as7920 · 11-09-2007, 03:27 AM

Success at last.

Many thanks to scooba0010 who suggested Elite in Rainham. They restocked yesterday, shame I have to travel 100 miles to get them but that's how desperate I am now. £10 down and getting them fitted tomorrow!

Thanks to all your suggestions, I am very happy with the run flats and considering my motor has M Sport suspension I am pleased (a surprised on the original test drive) with the ride.

I replaced the two fronts recently with PS2's and wanted to be consistent, I may be considering a change soon and didn't want to risk affecting the residuals by mixing brands (if that happens).

Cheers,

M.

Hi how much did you end up paying for your tyres?
I need to get mine replaced - same tyres.

Thanks
