BMW will make run-flat tires standard on its upcoming 1 series entry-premium car.
This will be the highest-volume car yet equipped with run-flat tires as standard equipment. BMW has been the industry leader in adopting run-flat technology, first using it on the discontinued limited-edition Z8 premium roadster.
Run-flat tires are standard on the BMW 6 series and the Z4. They are also mounted on optional 5-series wheels, which are on more than 60 percent of the 5 series models sold. Most versions of the Mini also have them.
