Do I have a non "runflat" option for 21" 128 Wheels?

Dunlop offers these tires in NON-runflat aswell (exact the same size and tread pattern). I know for sure, since I have these on my car
Ride is MUCH better, but they tend to wear faster. Price was a bit lower than the runflat versions.

Hi, The tyre you refer to does not appear ANYWHERE in any of my searches. Where did you find them?

At my local tire shop over here in Belgium. Had to wait 2-3 weeks for them to arrive.

On my 128’s I went for at the rear Dunlop SP9000 325/30R21 instead of the Sport Maxx. Only discernable difference is the treat pattern. At the front I went with Dunlop Sport Maxx MFS 285/35R21. Both are non-RFT and they do make a difference to the comfort & perceived road grip. Total price for 4 new tyres fitted £1100.

Can you please advise where in the UK I can find these NON runflat tyres you mention as all my searches and approaches to tyre dealers ONLY brings up the Dunlop run flats.
Please let me know as I must buy 2 fronts in the next few days!!!

Sorry about the late reply. Seen as your located in Scotland this probably will not be of much help but my local tyre fitter was able to supply & fit the above named tyres for me. If you want I can put you in contact with them.

Please check your PM for further details.

Kind Regards

Every dealer should be able to deliver them to you ...

Have decided to "bite the bullet" and buy new 20" rims and non runflat Toyo Proxes Tyres. Far better (IMHO) as an overall package for a variety of reasons than sticking with the one choice in 21" tyres at such a high price per tyre!!
New wheels and tyres will be fitted mid week and I will just store the 21's till I sell the car (or maybe sell them sooner).
Did try the Irish company referred to in this thread, but nobody returned my call.
