    Don't see why not seany - there's no legal requirement to have the same tyres on all wheels.

    :)

    I'm sure there was a Cooper S in one of the mags where they had changed the front tyres to improve handling but left the runflats on the back. Can't remember which one tho!

    Wasn't it BBR? That seems to ring a bell from a while back. I could be wrong though.

    BBR also do a suspension mod to reduce understeer.

    wouldn't recomend it,the runflat tyre has a double lip on it ,to match the rim on the wheel which prevents the tyre leaving the rim.They will go on ,but from a safety point of view i wouldn't ....
    and that's not me with my BMW hat on.
