Morning all,
Wifey has a BM 320D (2011), which has Continental tyres on, think they are the SportContact 3...
Anyway, on the tyre, I cant see a symbol showing 'RF' for Run Flat or 'SSR' for Self Supporting run flat, so I got no idea how to tell if the tyre is run flat (without letting out the air!)
Wifey ordered x2 tyres online for the rear, and went to have them fitted today (Uniroyal Rainsport - 225/45/17)
However, the tyre place said to her "you have runflats on your car, so you need to replace runflats with runflats.. If you don't, your car insurance will be invalid"
Now, if I recall, Run Flats were ugly tyres ? yet her tyres have that minor stretched look over the rim (standard 3 series alloy), which makes me wonder how they can be runflat ?!
and the insurance stuff, that don't make any sense ?
Anyone got any info on the above ?
cheers
