As always, thanks for the great pics!

Sorry Ian, I did not even think about taking a side pic while snapping my photos. The two salesman in that new car showroom were giving me the once over for taking so many pics. Esp for taking pics of the prices of each model car on display. lol :")

I did touch and press down in the middle of those cut up tire profiles. The normal tire was really flimy while the runflat (right side) was very hard/stiff. I will check this coming week at my local BMW dealer... I bet they might have the same runflat tire model.
