Finally replaced the run-flats
Just drove the Z4 home from the dealer after having them replace the Bridgestone run-flats with Yokohama S-Drive tires. What a difference!! Wish I had done this months ago! Much better ride, improved handling, and virtually no road noise...

First, where do you put the spare, and where do you get a tire jack/kit?
Second, my front two Potenzas are about shot, and my rears are fine. If I elect to go to non run-flats, can I do them by just replacing the front pair first? Or would that throw the handling way off whack? Any thoughts are very appreciated! |

Personally I saved the money. I will have to call a flatbed and try not to whine too much about it if I ever get stranded or crash due to a flat. |

Are you saying you wore out your front tires before your rears? Usually it's the other way around. How'd you do that?

Nope, my rear tires actually wore out first, so I replaced them. There was no need to replace the fronts at that time. So now its time to replace the front tires. So, do I switch out those front tires to non run flats with the idea that when the rears wear out I do the same? Or replace the fronts with a better ride RFT than the Potenzas.

OK decision made, however, what I will likely do is switch the fronts to a better RFT and do the same when the rears wear out.
