Tire Help

Favor please:
Does anyone know if I can put Runflats on my OEM wheels without TPMS sensors?

I can get a really good deal on these, but I dunno if I can use them.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know why you couldn't, except that many people don't like the way runflats ride and handle...

The tires will fit AFAIK, but you really should have some way of telling if a tire goes low as the Runflats won't let you feel a soft tire.

On my '06 I have the Runflat Indicator function activated but you can also find sensor-based aftermarket TPMS systems on Amazon or eBay. I have the Hella system on the wife's Audi and I like it better but there's no good place to mount it on the w203.
