Continental Run-flats
After 28,000 miles, I am about to replace the OEM Bridgestone RE 050A
run-flats on my Z4. Has anyone had any experience with the Continental Conti SportContact 2 SSR run-flat tires? They are listed by Tire Rack as 30% cheaper with a tread wear rating of 280 vs. 140 for the Bridgestones. TIA Tom K.

Every Z4 owner that's ever done it has RAVED about the improvement to ride and handling that good regular tires gives - check www.z4um.com. I'll be adding M3 replicas to mine, and I'm making the switch then. epbrown -- 2003 BMW 325i Black/Black 2003 BMW Z4 Black/Black

But if the run-flat Contis perform anywhere near the (non run-flat) Sport2 tires, I would use them, as the price is almost the same as the Goodyears. Tom K.

Continental Run-flats
I understand the Michelin & Goodyear runflats are mendable with smaller tred
punctures - if economy is also an issue, you may wish to consider them.
