Over the MPSS most rate it for non rft purposes because it is one of the best tyres.

As far as I was aware you did not have an AUC but an extended warranty? It should not cause any problems either way, but if you are choosing the Pzero I think you would be a fool not to choose the star approved variant.

All the star means it is is BMW approved.

Not Approved Pzero (EU rating is only E,B,B)

Approved Pzero (EU rating is C,A,A)

Same thing is true in 275/30 R20 97Y as well, although tyre leader currently appear not to have any in stock.
Hi Ninja, thanks for the reply. I am not sure, probably it is an extended warranty but the previous owner had an AUC warranty and when I phoned up Modial, they offered me a discounted warranty as it is a continuation of the AUC warranty.

Anyway, I just had a look at:

There seems to be such a wide variation in price from £160 - £250.

Does the tyre need to have a star on it? Can't I get for example:

The tyre you recommended me are both runflats which I would prefer to stay away from.
