Run flat tyres.

Can they be put on a car with out tyre pressure sensors?
I assume they can but just want to clear my mind?

First question is why would you want them? They are hard with a lot of road noise and a very bumpy ride.

I have no idea if you can fit them thou.

I assumed the alloys need to be specific for run flats. Might be wrong though

Forget about them, they ruin the drive on a car. Way too harsh

Don't think they can be fitted without sensors-how would you know if you had a puncture?

This, my mate went to pick up a customers car, problem was funny handling. Drove it back to the workshop and put it on the ramp, found nothing wrong underneath.

Only when he lowered it back to the ground and had a good look around, he noticed a flat tyre.

Think it was a mini.

Been offered a pair new for £140 brigestones.
They going on an A3 tdi not a Clio.

Not a bad price, dunlops were the cheapest I could find at 110 a pop.

If you want to ruin the comfort, stability and handling of the car....then fit them. No more needs to be said.

Never mind they quoted for each tyre not a pair.
Thought it was too cheap to be real, bloody eBay seller listed them as x2 but they meant 2 of.

Thinking about leaving neg feedback now want to cancel auction saying they out of stock!

Has your Audi got sensors then?

No thats why I asked if they needed them.
Just thought I'd try them as they was sooo cheap. But seller dont want to complete sale as they was £140 each not pair.

Too me I was buying X2 225 40 18 Bridgestone Run Flats!

So please tell me after what's been posted on here that you're not going to go for run flats as 100 paracetomol washed down with a bottle of Smirnoff is far cheaper and might have the same conclusion.
