sundaeman Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Why wouldn't you be able to "mail" order the police tires? I'm pretty sure Bob's and some of the other places would ship them. Link to comment

11101110 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I just bought a front tire, police runflat. The price is actually very reasonable compared to other tires. this according to the salesman at the dealership. the Police tires have BMW part numbers so I think any dealership that does mailorder would be capable of getting them.

USAF1 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Why would you run tires that get such low mileage, when you could be running ME 880's and getting at least twice the mileage?? Pat Link to comment
taters Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 i was told i would get at least 10,000 miles from these. Link to comment
sck166 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Who is the manufacturer of the RT-P spec tires? Is it still Dunlop? Link to comment
csapp05 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Don't know if the dealership is the only one who can order/get these, but you can definitely get 10k out of them, my bike had 11k when I changed them out to make a run up to Deals Gap a few weekends ago. If I had a spare set of rims, I would (locally) still use them! Link to comment
EffBee Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 The police front is available from BMW as well as from a couple of other sources. Parts Unlimited has the same tire. Any dealer can order it using part #32SU-75. Also, Tucker Rocky has the same tire. Any dealer can order it using part #310340. Unfortunately, the rear tire is only available through BMW dealers. None of the Dunlop distributors in the U.S. carry that specific tire. I checked Canada some time ago as well. They don't have it either, although I hear it's an OTC tire in Japan. Link to comment
USAF1 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Taters A friend of mine just put a new set of 880's on his bike, with only 19,000 miles on the old set.....he wants to be ready for our upcoming rainy season. Because of "wobble" problems last year, I had set of Dunlop 205's installed, got rid of the wobble but only got 11,775 out of them. The 880's that they replaced had 15 or 16,000 on them, with plenty left. Pat Link to comment
