I need to get new tyres for a 3 series BMW 16" have been quoted €140 per tyre anyone know if this is a good price?
 
Can you give more information abourt the tyres
 
If this is for something like the quality of a Bridgestone Turanza ER 300 RFT (I'm guessing the size / spec is something like 205/55 R16 91H but you'll need to check) then its a good price for tyres fitted and balanced. The best on-line price I can find is about €112, but you'd need to get fitting and balancing priced locally.

(BTW, the exact brand and specification of the tyre is printed on the tyre side-wall, the make of car is irrelevant as its a mass market tyre)
 
Thanks for the feedback, price i've been quoted is for continentals

The tyres say 205/55 R16 on them

My friend has just opened his own business, an online tyre shop. I thought id price your size tyre jus for curiosity. He can do 205/55 R16 for €65.00 each brand new, in a Nankang which are a very good tyre. He also knows a lot of fitters in the Dublin area that will fit and balance for €10 a tyre so €30 for 3. Pm me if youd like his website address.

they will be no use to the OP as he wants Run Flat Tyres. the Nankangs are not RFT as far as i know, not at that price anyway. what is the website that your friend opened, may be worth a look.

Not according to recent reviews on boards.ie, etc...

BTW, one of my pet hates are web-sites that are 'under construction' - not even the basics work on that site work and I don't think you're doing any favours publicising it in its current state.
 
I have heard the run flats make the ride very harsh and most likely are done after a puncture.

Is it worth putting standard tyres on the car.

depends on the owner tbh, i replaced the RFT with standard ones and will never use RFT again if i can help it. but it all depends on the car owner and wether or not they wana do it. but technically they can if they want.
