runflats treadlife

hector · 10-24-2006, 07:32 AM

does anyone know if the runflats on the 335i are likely to last 24k mi(my lease duration)? i'm debating whether or not to get a winter package- if the cost of that will be recouped by not having to buy a new set of summer tires prior to lease end then i definitely will. if the summer tires will still be legal at 24k mi i might just try to get by. any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Doubt the rear will last that long.
