comfortable tyres
We want to replace the factory-fitted 225 55 R17 Pirelli P7 run-flat tyres on our new BMW 520D SE Auto Touring with conventional tyres and would very much appreciate your suggestions as to which would give us the best ride comfort as well as wet weather grip.

My recommendation is to stick to runflats, but go for the latest generation of them. Dunlops now seem to be best all round. Better ride than 1st and 2nd generation runflats.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.

I would like some advice on tyres please. I need four new runflat tyres on my 2003 BMW 530D (225/50 17 94w) and wondered if you have any suggestions? I currently have Dunlops, which offer a very hard ride...
I have recently acquired a 2007 BMW 118d SE Auto - the so-called ‘Efficient Dynamics’ version. Initial impressions are all positive: handling, performance, autobox, finish and particularly economy (45-50mpg)...
I have recently purchased a Skoda Octavia which is fitted with low profile tyres. Can it be fitted with normal tyres? The existing tyres are 225/40 R18
