Hi all
Currently investigating purchasing a roof rack. we have one extra rim fitted with a RF tyre and will carry a second tyre that is not fitted to a rim. they will both be on the roof rack while we do a lap of Australia. It is 4043 kilometres from Darwin to Perth, there are no BMW dealers in-between and those two dealers are unlikely to stock our size tyre!!
We have a hydraulic bottle jack that fits nicely in the hole in the hatch. It has 120mm of lift, we need 100mm lift to get the tyre off the ground.
We bought two identical to the original Dunlop's. So have six tyres to wear out before we decide if we then change to NRF tyres.
Don't forget that the wheelbarrow tyres used as spares in most new cars have no greater life than an airless RF!!
