Why runflat checks matter
Runflat tyres are not a normal size-only replacement. For a BMW 3 Series, the store should confirm:
- tyre placard and current sidewall
- whether SSR/runflat is required
- MOE, BMW star or other OE marking
- front and rear sizes on staggered setups
- load index and speed rating
- tyre pressure monitoring condition
- old tyre wear and wheel alignment
SC5 SSR versus normal performance tyres
SC5 SSR Runflat is for vehicles that need a self-supporting runflat style tyre in the correct size and marking. If your vehicle does not need runflat, a normal performance tyre may ride differently and may be more suitable, but that should be checked before changing tyre type.
