you might need a spare tire kit though...
or you can order them in Belgium, my tire dealer has those available (on order only of course...)
When passing through Germany and Austria, make sure you have those wintertires because the Polizei is on the lookout... |
Most or all dealers in the UK buy from a wholesaler, and if the whole saler don't stock them, then they can't be got.
I've found the tyres on a US site or two, and they seem to be around $500 !!, so the parts prices seems about what i'd have to pay even if i can get them
I don't like run flats at all, but as i haven't got a spare, then i have no real alternative, other than carry a spare wheel in the boot for an emergency....
Not sure if one of the tyre weld kits would work on a tyre like this if i did decide to run a normal tyre, which is a lot cheaper and available here. ??
