#16 of 35 Re: Forced to buy run flats [heatmiser] by shyork Jun 14, 2007 (12:16 pm)
Replying to: heatmiser (Jan 02, 2007 4:49 am) I replaced my run flats about a year ago and love the new ride - what I was expecting when I bought the car. Since I do a lot of highway driving, I didn't want to get stuck in the boonies waiting for a flat bed truck. I did a lot of research on options and decided to get the mini spare.   My dealer quoted me $1100 for the kit. Instead I just bought the steel wheel for mini spare from the dealer ($130)Then I purchased the actual tire from a local tire store ($220 installed - pricey but I checked 5 places and they all were within a couple of bucks). The sppare fits nicely in the wheel well and the top still goes down. Replies to this message: angelo5 (Aug 17, 2007 11:55 am) angelo5 (Aug 17, 2007 12:00 pm) eliotj (Oct 30, 2008 11:39 am)

#19 of 35 Keeping the run flat, changing the type? by rlejr66 Sep 06, 2007 (1:34 pm)
Has anyone replaced the Bridgestone summer run-flats with the Dunlop all-season run-flats? If so, can you tell any difference in the ride?

Replying to: heatmiser (Dec 22, 2006 5:15 am) Lots of people indicate great satisfaction and greatly improved ride with Goodyear F1/D3 as well as Michelin Pilot A/S Plus. I am in the process of replacing my Dunlop run flat tires and installing Michelin's from either Costco or Discount Tire with their lifetime balance and rotation.

Replying to: bbatts (Sep 30, 2008 6:34 am) I got the Michelins about a year ago and love them. I also got slightly wider tires on the back, and it really helps hug the road. Enjoy. Replies to this message: duval1 (Apr 10, 2009 5:42 am)
#23 of 35 Trying to understand how much safer are runflats? by lucywest Oct 19, 2008 (2:09 pm)
OK, so I hate the ride on the runflats but I'm afraid to replace them because I've been told (by friends who should know, but still ...) that if I have a blowout on non-runflats with the low profile that the car demands, I'll probably lose control of the car. In other words, I'm not so worried about breaking down somewhere - I have a AAA membership (and could tow the car for the extra money I pay for runflats), but don't want to have a higher risk of tire-related accidents. Does anyone understand the relative safety/risk with regards to a blowout? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Replies to this message: graceanders (May 26, 2009 6:23 am)

I'm switching from my Dunflops to either Michelin Pilot AS or Bridgestone 960 AS. Tire Rack rates the 960 higher in nearly every category, particularly ride. 960s are also about $50 bucks less per tire so I think I will give them a try from Discount Tire with new custom wheels.
