CIH Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 It occured to me today that most of the runflats I've ever seen have had Asymmetric tread patterns: Dunlop Sport 01 & Goodyear Eagle somethin' or other Run On Flat Michelin Pilot PHP ZeroPressure Conti Premium Contact2 SSR Bridgestone Turanza ER300 RFT & Bridgestone Potenza (various BMW & MINI OEM fitments, forget the specfics) The only one that isn't, that I've seen, is the Pirelli Euforia with a symmetrical pattern. Any specfic reason or just conincidence ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 The only connection is all the RFT's are for German cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
