Original m135i rims with runflats not compatible with other non runflats??
Hi i have an 2013 m135i with runflat tires on the original rims.
I was been told that you could not fit non runflat tires on the original rims. Is this true? When the runflats are weared of i want to try normal tires to feel the difference between them. |

Yes you can refit proper tyres. And well worth doing IMO.

I recently switched to non-run flats. The EU ratings for fuel / wet performance / noise are far greater for non-run flats plus they're cheaper so...
I was worried but BMW themselves said it's all down to personal choice... just be prepared should you get a puncture

Thanks, this is good news that i dont need to buy other rims, would be kinda stupid imo.
I come prepared dont worry I know a person that makes costum emergency wheels for the m135i and other cars. A normal bmw 135/17 emergency wheel doesnt fit due the large blue brake calipers. At least here in belgium. A 205/40/17 is just to big to put away. It still annoys me that you dont have a emergency wheel at the back. The only two options you get here when ordering a new car is runflats or normal tires with a repair kit. runflats are not bad and have even more comfort on my m135i then i had in my leon cupra 310 with normal tires. And the repair kit doesnt really 'put me on ease' |
