Had a quick search,cant seem to find an answer

If a tyre says it is a run flat can it be fitted to a zed on Rays alloys.

PS.Know will probably get ribbed for this

You can if you want, however you will absolutely murder the ride quality as the suspension wasn't designed for run flats. However, in terms of whether you can physically do it, there's no reason why not.

I've got them on a z4 which IS set up for run flats....and its fricking spine splintering.

 

Tramlines like a bitch whore from hell too.

You would also need to fit a TPMS to let you know if a tyre has lost pressure. Cars fitted with run flats by the manufacturers have to have some kind of warning system.

 

 

My understanding of the current MOT regulations is that if a run flat has no TPMS you will get an advisory. From 2012 any car fitted with OEM run flats will fail if non run flats are fitted, not sure if this applies the other way round though

Which is about as reliable as a Soviet nuclear reactor as well

Yes, The BMW one especially . I've also heard that the light often stays on even after the puncture has been fixed . Sadly, the trend will be for new cars to have run flats fitted, even top end sports cars, probably legislating for it even as we speak

In my experience even when it is designed for run flats its still a hideous ride. Hateful things IMO.
