Run Flats

This has been covered many times but in the other direction. My question is can you replace standard tyres with run flats? Not on a Merc but a BMW X1. Our last one had them but our new one has standard tyres and a can of gunge.

Don't see why not.
Interesting that your new X1 doesn't have them; is it "new new" or new to you?

Could be that the original owner changed from runflats, although I see that on the latest version of the X1, BMW are fitting 'normal' tyres at the factory.
Word of advice: if you go back to runflats, don't go for Bridgestones.
