Default Run flats

I recently bought a set of wheels and tyres off Jubby on here but it turns out that 2 of the tyres are bridgestone RFT's

As far as I was aware these are not supposed to be fitted to normal wheels and also shouldn't be mixed with normal tyres on the same car...

Does anyone know the law regarding this? Am I running a great risk running this combination of normal and run flat tyres on normal after market alloys? (inovit redlines)

Ive kept the 2 run flats on the rear axle

Thanks for any advice,
Mark

I had 4 runflats on my aftermarket speedline alloys with no proble, they were Avon zz3`s, they fitted and had no issues with them on.

Thats good to hear thanks

What about mixing them with normal tyres? 2 of each...

I've made sure they are on the same axle...

its not ideal to mix the runflats with normal tyres mate , due to the sidewall stiffness etc ,, id take them off asap
