RDON Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 finally got my bridgestone blizzaks tyres on today, they are decent part worn ones but I noticed the rears are run flats but the fronts are not! will this be ok? its it still legal?

roadtrip Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I might be wrong but I think legally you're supposed to have pressure monitors if you use run flats, it might also handle a bit less predictably than having the same front and rear. I looked at getting some part worn winters but read somewhere that they're not effective below 4mm, although I would guess that's more do to with use in snow. Most of the ones I could find where too worn to justify their prices so I ended up getting new ones in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDON Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 ahh ok I, well it took me a few months to find the same make and model tyres with 6 and 7mm on them but got there in the end but did not know about the run flats that's all!

Ekona Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You don't need pressure sensors if you have runflats. Our Mini CS has FR but no PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 When your front wheels go over a bump you won't feel it, when your rears go over the bump your spine will shatter On a serious note, you'll be fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 How much tread do the tyres have. As winters aren't effective below 4mm in snow anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Gaunt Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Second hand tyres are usually somebody elses problem i find 7 out of 10 times. Unusual wear, bulge, splits, holes, perishing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
