Searched the forum, did not find much about run flat tires. Apologies if I missed it somewhere.

I found a good deal on TireRack.com for Pirelli P ZERO NON-run flat for about $1,000 for the set. But, they are not run flats.

Not that I think I have to worry much about getting a flat, but I like the idea of the added stiffness for handling in a run-flat tire.

So, does anyone have a suggestion for what would be the best run-flat tire for sub $200 per tire - if there is such a thing? Otherwise, would these P ZERO's be a good option?


Thanks.

 

I think you should do an extended test drive in a car with extended mobility, aka “run flat” tires. My experience with them on my Mercedes is reduced handling and performance as well as a short lifespan.

 

My 2010 has the original Run-Flat tires on it. I do like how they feel. They still have a bit of tread life left, as the car only has about 40k miles on it. But, being almost 10 years old, they are dried out. Probably need replaced.

 

Why not add a spare tire and ditch the run flats?
