Hey, so what I was referring to was actually dismounting the rear tires from whe rims/wheels, and moving them side to side.

Slow day at work so I created a picture/diagram to better see it (below).

So I have been doing this on my RWD cars for quite some time and I have gained at least 7-10k more miles through my tires.

Also, I know we don't have spare tires in a lot of the newer BMW's, but ditching the run flats, and going with conventional tires are not only cheaper, but the ride quality is much improved. I carry a BMW mobility kit in the vehicles that do not have run flats any longer, and between the kit and AAA, I have had no issues.

Good luck!
