Hi,

Any reason not to ditch my runflats and get :-

Continental Sport Contact 5s

on my BWW 335i?

Nope, enjoy.

Reasons not to ditch your Runflats and buy CS5:

a) You wish to instead spend all your currently available cash on moving to Isreal in order to start a small family owned Crocodile farm.
b) You have a history of mental insanity
c) You'd rather own 1000 bars of Wispa chocolate and the spend on tyres now would impede your ability to do this

Can't really think of many more reasons not to do that.

They are still legal and have enough tread on them not to warrant being replaced?

My current tyres still have a little life in them but I think I might treat the old girl to new shoes, nothing is as hard as a nearly worn out run flat

Also the fen roads around here are as bumby as ****!

1. Run Flats are the devil.

2. I'm getting CSC5's on Friday, I'll let you know how I get on.

Has a bit of a result today, I basically broke my Y USB cable that connects my iPhone to my iDrive, managed to convince Elms in Cambridge to replace it free of charge

Must be under new management since I dealt with them

Always gives you a sense of wellbeing when you get away with a bit of blatant blagging

Getting anything over Elms of Cambridge is a good thing in my book...bunch of ^%$%$%^$%%$£$£% idiots

Yeah not my favorite dealership, unfortunately they're local!

Any super duper deals out there on tyres at the moment or should I just get from www.blackcircles.com?

Edit: Mind you, I do love Wispa bars..

There are also some:-

19" Alloys Wheels BMW E90 E92 313 Reps

on the Bay at the moment which I'm tempted by, but I just not sure about replicas, obviously they're infinitely cheaper than the real thing!

[TW]Fox · 10 Jan 2012 at 17:27

Genuine 18 inch 313's are not that expensive - 1300ish - and would be my choice.

HEADRAT · 10 Jan 2012 at 21:25

Black Circles fully fitted = £917.52, sound about right?

[TW]Fox · 10 Jan 2012 at 21:34

Seems expensive.

Oh, Blackcircles. That'll be why then.

Type_R · 10 Jan 2012 at 21:42

Camskill is the way forward

HEADRAT · 10 Jan 2012 at 21:50

They don't seem to have any 255/30/R19 Continental Sport Contact 5s

So any ideas who would do these cheap?

Phone some local places and see if they can beat the price
