Anybody know the correct tyre sizes/spec I need to look for,for an e93.I am sure as they are 18 inch M-tec wheels but seeing as my mum is 250 miles away from me I cant go out and check the size.Had a text yesterday saying as it was an advisory on its first m.o.t.Would I be right to assume as they are runflats ?.Another thing is its only done 12,000 miles and it needs four new boots ?.They dont seem to have lasted very long imo.

I know M division dont use run flats so not sure if bmw would? 12,000 miles does seem very early on to be on advisory.

If their heavy on boots its worth getting all the camber and tracking done,it did wonders to my old e36.
As it's just passed the Mot I'll assume all the bushings are ok but they do sit a bit / \ on the arse end and some of the tyres fitted to them look illegal from the outset!!!
If she's not pushing the thing to the limits ask for some harder wearing tyres as they will stock something,if not go elsewhere.

Thanks for the comments,The car is an e93 M sport.I have just spoken to her on the phone,eek ! the sizes are 225/35 19 front and 255/30 19 rear runflats and she has had a quote of £667 pair of rears and £527 pair of fronts .It was a tyre place who did the m.ot because she couldnt get in into BMW a month overdue too the dozy bugger and they said fronts will need replacing and rears are spongey .Better have a look for myself now.Oh and as for her driving style its like someone in a metro on a Sunday afternoon,she is 60

Bets on them being fine when you check??

I hope if you find they are fine you will name and shame and be giving them a bollocking.

I drive enthusiasticlaly and get more than 12k from a set of tyres. Something sounds iffy

Thats what I was thinking and I giving them a call if thats the case,tbf on the prices they are not that bad.Camskill have no stock and just waiting for a place which we have used before in Brixham to call back.I have asked her to go to another place to have them looked at.As for 12,000 miles,I got more than that out of a set on my 2wd Sapphire
