    My F54 came with run flats but I’d now like to change to all weather normal tyres. Are the alloys just ‘normal’ and will non run flats be safe on the rims?

    Thanks guys. Going to be putting Michelin Cross Climate Plus 225-40/18 XL Y on. Just need to buy a can of gunk at the same time.

    I bought one of these for GP1499 years ago.
    Thankfully I’ve never had to use it on the GP but I did use it on the back left tyre of the ride on mower about 3 years ago and the tyre is still sat at 10 psi now.

    The real bonus is that it just washes away with water.
