Re: Need new Tires?
I know they have developed a next generation in tire product, but man.. hard to get past the looks. For me the sidewall looks so awkward, from looks point I am not warm to them. Maybe the rest of the features are a win?? Wonder about ride quality and handling?? I would think handling would take a hit over traditional tires??

Re: Need new Tires?
Looks like something off a Mars rover or a sci fi vehicle
My Lexus came with run flat tires so you don’t even get a donut spare or any of the jack and lug wrench components
That sux…

Re: Need new Tires?
My neighbor hated his run flats on his BMW so much he replaced them with regular tires.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

And you know what the Mars rover has trouble with in its wheels?
There’s a Rock Stuck in NASA’s Mars Rover’s Wheel

So far I have just slightly over 2,000 miles on them so I really haven't formed any opinion
What did he hate about them?
If I was living in America I would certainly hesitate to take a long trip without investing in a spare and jack and stuff
It says you can travel 50-75 miles with a flat so you would be good to go in an urban environment but not crossing Arizona or Montana or something
I actually checked with a couple of tire shops in Anchorage before we shipped it over here and apparently nobody sells new donut spares

Re: Need new Tires?
My neighbor hated the noise and rough ride from the run flats. If they were really that bad, I don’t blame him for changing them

These are pretty tame sounding and the roads here are garbage so it's hard to rate the ride
These are Bridgestone Turanza
