Tires and Wheels problem
2006 BMW 330 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 30000 miles

I have replaced 5 tires (RFT) in 2.5 years. I would like to switch to regular tires. Are there any complicationtions in switching to non RFT tires on the BMW 330 XI. Sears tire store refuses to install the tires, something about the suspension needs to be adjusted. SRS tire stores says they can do it.
What is the real issue if any about switching away from Run Flat Tires ?

Thanks

I am with you, I hate hate hate run flats. Let me tell you what I really think, lol. The only issue would be with the run flat monitoring device inside the tire if there is one. I don't think there is a safety issue that plays here.
