Run Flat Disaster!

Well I’m at BMW replacing my 2nd run flat tire since January 2023. Bad decision on getting run flats.

19's hopefully? The iX3 isn't allowed to run on 20" run flats. The manual states they can cause accidents and material damage.

Mine's going in for a tyre change on Thursday since the dealer fitted RF's to the summer wheels.

I think it’s size 19”. Found out the X3 don’t have a compartment in the back for a spare for regular tires. Why not?

Because there is a huge battery there. Without the battery, the car is even slower that when it has a flat tyre.

Actually, I believe that's where the engine is. The battery should be at the bottom between the front and rear axle.

My dealer lied to me. No surprise there...
