Flat chat

I AM sick and tired of the harsh ride from the run-flat tyres on my BMW 530. Can I fit ``normal'' tyres without compromising safety?

YOU won't have any degradation in safety by switching to a conventional tyre, and the ride will be much better. You'll have to carry a spare of some sort, but that's not a huge issue on your car. Or you could carry a can of foam repairer to get you out of trouble if you have a puncture.
