Which are the best runflat tyres currently available?
You recommend fitting third generation runflat tyres to improve ride quality, but I have been unable to find any for sale in the UK. The most common mentioned is the Bridgestone Turanza but that was the subject of a poor quality class action in the USA which was settled out of court by Bridgestone and BMW. This may be the reason they are not being sold here. Do you have any information on other makes that may be available, and is it really a good idea to fit them in view of the fact that there may be problems associated with the product?

BMW now seems to favour Dunlop. After taking me to Italy 15 months ago to test RFT3s, Bridgestone has completely blanked me ever since on why they never reached the UK market. So thank you for giving me the reason.
