Should I change my BMW's tyres to improve the steering?

Hi,

I recently traded in my 2001 BMW 318i for a 2011 BMW 318i. The main difference I discovered between the two models was the steering. The older car's steering was lighter and more responsive while the newer model feels that bit heavier. If I did not know better I would think I was driving a car with front-wheel drive. The car has Run Flat Tyres, and my question is, do you think its the tyres that is causing this experience and if so would it be worth my time to replace them?

Regards,

Hugh McGarr, Dublin

Can I put Ford Kuga wheels on my S-Max?

Can I fit 18-inch alloys from a Ford Kuga (7.5J x 18) to my Ford S-Max (7J x 17)? I know that my friend's Ford S-Max 1.6 TDCi has 18-inch wheels from Ford, and it's a 2013 S-Max, which is the same shape as my 2011 model.

I need a bit of help with my tyre pressures...

Hi guys,

My tyre pressure is usually 30psi all round and car is almost always empty and without passengers. I've to do a drive of about 350km round trip soon with three passengers and a fully loaded boot. Mostly motorway. Should I up the tyre pressures all round and to what, please?

Also, after a recent puncture the garage told me I should keep the spare at 50psi. This sounds ridiculously high and potentially dangerous if you needed to put the spare tyre on in an emergency where you couldn't check the pressure. Would be glad of any tips, thanks.
