Title: Run flat tyres?
Post by: swgti on February 08, 2012, 04:49:52 pm

My mate's got a pair of Bridgestone RE050A's that he wants shot of with nearly 7mm of tread on them, he only wants £120 for them but they are run flats. I know you can change run flats for standard tyres but can I stick them on my Monzas or not?

You can't fit runflats on a non-runflat rim. Plus you don't want them, they're garbage - I ditched mine in weeks.
