I had Goodyear run flats on our C6 Corvette, they were noisy, harsh riding, and when I had a flat, none of of the Goodyear or Chevy dealerships in the Chicago area would fix it. Thank God for Discount Tire, fixed it, rebalanced it, and did not charge me anything. Replaced them with Michelin non-run flats. Best thing I ever did for my car.

I don't care what anyone says. Run flat tires are the best thing to ever be invented in recent times in the automotive industry. Those who say otherwise have never been in terrible situations on the highway. Imagine going 67+ mph on the left lanes when one of your tires blow out. Warning lights and sounds come on the dash, you feel the car tilt and lose speed, you see cars on the right lane going 70+ mph, you eventually make it to the far right shoulder and now your heart is racing really fast. You call towing and wait there for 40+ minutes while cars are blazing past you at 70+mph. In all of that time you thought about how you could have gotten into a major wreck, gotten a serious life changing injury, or killed. With run flats you can drive your butt home or to the nearest tire shop with zero worries. Your life is more important than saving money on regular tires. Get run flats if you value your life.

I work as a semi-self employed security guard on graveyard shift and I only run, run flat tires on my car. I have aaa membership but my job takes through and in some seriously dangerous parts of Seattle and Tacoma and since all my gear and vehicle are self supplied turning my back to the streets for even 5 minutes to change a tire or sitting for 3 hours to wait for a tow from aaa can easily result in serious injury or death. I don't have tpms but if I have to replace a rim and tire it's worth the 400 to 500 if it means I get to home in one piece at the end of the night. Fortunately my personal work vehicle hasn't been shot up yet, but the company car I was driving did get Swiss cheesed about a month ago with me in it. Also why I only do v8 motors now, the camry I was driving has no get up and go and delays before accelerating when you floor it.

i had a bmw 330i 2018 with run flats then i swapped them out for cheap walmart tires. The difference was huge, way softer ride, smoother, accelaration increased and over all it felt quieter. I notcied a huge miles per gallon increase by 7mpg. The car felt more "gummy" on the road and asobred all the road imperfetion . The steering was not as sharp as runflat, but still loved the ride with tradational tires.

I have run flats on my vehicle and the ride is still pretty smooth. You can feel the bump a little more when going over a speed bump; but that is about it. A couple of months ago my back tire went flat on the way home from the beach which is about two hours thirty minutes away i never noticed until I was already at home. This was also on the interstate doing around 70 to 75 and the temp outside was around 86 that day. Tire held up even without air. I will say this though that if a run flat sidewall breaks down and shreds while driving you are going to feel it as it has happened to me when they wore out. BTW the tire that went flat on my way home from the beach is a Pirelli.

I got a set of Bridgestone Driveguards last year for my Chevy Volt. I loved them so much, I am purchasing a Set of Driveguard Plus today for my ford focus electric. Neither car comes with a spare tires due to the fact they are both ev's. So a runflat tire is an essential choice for me. The Driveguards I got for my Volt did not reduce my range and made the vehicle feel more sturdy on the road. I used to be very hard to take off from a stand still in the rain, but after installing the Driveguards on my car this hasnt been an issue. I hope I will gert the same results from the DriveGuard Plus I will be installing today or tomorrow, depending on if they can be shipped to the store today.

For me, trying to change a tire would probably put me in the hospital for a few days and rack up another surgery and there is no way I'm going to sit on the side of the road and wait on an Autoclub or a stranger to stop and help, so Run Flat was a no-brainer when I bought my 540i. I do notice the slightly stiffer ride, but the knowledge I can just head to the dealership or garage if I get a "flat" is all that matters. In a few more years I would imagine we won't even notice the difference.

In heels and with long nails! I am in Australia where getting a fancy tyre fixed business hours is hard enough. Or depending on where you are impossible. Weekends and after hours, totally forget about it. And this on main highways, anywhere else it will not happen. I sell tyres as aprt of my automotive business and the machines to fit these tyres as well as general low profile tyres are a lot more expensive.

That's a good question. Technically, they're not run flats, since they lack the sidewall stiffness necessary to support the weight of the vehicle with zero air pressure. Instead, these are called self-sealing tires that are lined with a sealant material that plugs up the hole immediately after the tire is punctured. Some people like self-sealing tires, and they certainly might be right for you.

Run flats are cool til you have flat and you have to replace the freaking tire.

Yep, I bought an 2022 X3, after 2 months I had a screw in 1 tire, dealer said : you can't repair a runflat. New tire = 500$ total. And people, be aware that no matter what happens if you get a screw or run on a flat tire, you will have to buy a new one. There is no escape.

If you purchased a BMW M performance car with rft from factory, your top speed is electronically limited to lower speed than conventional tires

If you want to stop and get a jack out and probably get murdered next to the road while trying to change a tyre that is way to heavy for one person to do alone, then go ahead, I'll rather just drive home thank you. Well I guess some of you live in safe countries without car hijackings taking place on a daily basis.

Run flats are shit they are like driving on solid rubber, ur mpg will go up cause there heavyer, so what u save on tyres u spend like 2x on fuel ,also the cars prefomance is effected since the tyres heavyer it makes acceleration less ,as it takes more force to physically turn the wheel there utter crap, there are some situations were they are good like presidential vehicles ect ,but i actully think the cons out way the pros especially if u like ur car being fast and comfortable 😂😂

You couldn’t be more wrong about RFT. Probably you haven’t driven a car with RFT to see how bad, inefficient and expensive they are. I have a BMW and swept RFT with regular tires and carry an air pump in my car to inflate the tires if needed.

This is not the case in EVERY SINGLE CAR. For example, Mini Coopers come stranded with run flats (Even the S and JCW) and they are affecting its handling, install some Pilot Sport 4s and it will make a HUGE DIFFERENCE
