Manufacturers are doing away with spares all together because of "weight savings", but it's really just an excuse for them to be cheap. Haha.

I've actually been using run flat tires for over 10 years and they do not ride rougher than regular tires unless they have no air inside them because of a puncture and they have no affect your gas mileage. I can remember the times where I had zero air pressure in one or two tires and didn't have to stop in the middle of nowhere or bad weather to change them. The replacement cost is not an issue if you use Discount Tire and purchase a road hazard warranty that will repair or replace the tires for free. Run flat tires are worth every penny.

Just yesterday, I was driving from DC to NYC when I burst a tire on my MINI in New Brunswick, NJ. I’m actually really happy for my run-flats because I was able to drive the 40 miles all the way to MINI of Manhattan.

I had a BMW 5 series with run flats. They are LOUD, firm, and very uncomfortable! And they are extremely expensive to replace! Such a stupid idea to put military purpose tech on regular cars.

@alphamacho6401 5 лет назад

Rev up your flat tire car! 🚗💨💨💨

@2WhiteAndNerdy 5 лет назад

That old ad sure seemed sexist, but in all fairness, not ONCE in my life have I ever seen a female on the side of the road swapping a tire. Not once. Just sayin.

@ 36 seconds, anyone see the guy walking in the background take a vid of scotty? Lol

@YachtEventHorizon

I have a Z4 with Run Flat tyres. I decided to stay with Run Flat tyres after I saw a simulated type blowout on RU-vid. The car was fitted with standard tyres and driving at 60 or 70 mph. They activated a small explosive charge in one of the tyres and the car lost total control and almost rolled over. They did the same simulation with run flat tyres and the car carried on as if nothing had happened. It convinced me. I know run flat tyres can be a little uncomfortable and a little more expensive, but was price safety and piece of mind.

Don’t come at me with that. I just hit a monster ditch at 2AM in the morning, 1 hour away from home and it got me home safely. No need to stay idle in the highway waiting for towing. It could save a life, honestly. I used to think like this until tonight. Safety is priceless.

@MrCalifornia0 Год назад

I would take run flats any day over regular tires. Why? Because you can keep driving at speed during a sidewall blowout. Happened to me twice and barely noticed I had a flat other than my dash light telling me. No hassle of stoping or having to change it. That’s way worth the cost of them for me. Wish they made them for Teslas.

tire4coin is only site where I buy tires

@cetinprod9059 Год назад

im buying 5 years tires from tire4coin

@iNick90 5 лет назад

I actually agree with you, I took the run-flats off my BMW after I got a hole in them and learn just how expensive they were to replace and got regular air filled tires and put an air pump in my car.

My 2016 Corvette Z51 is for track use, came with Michelin Run Flat tires, I like the ride and never had a problem.

@Aarontlondon Год назад

I had a BMW 4 series with run flat tyres. The car went through tires like crazy, they’d get a puncture too easily, they couldn’t be repaired, and were SOOO expensive. NEVER AGAIN. Scotty is right again!

@lewisowens4 Год назад

All of this is absolutely true! I bought a MINI countrymanS 2010 ALL4 about 3 months ago, the previous owner had put "high quality" expensive Run Flat tires on the front and had normal Summer tires on the back. Let me tell you, having these tires on it makes it ride and sound horribel, it's extremly loud and makes for an extremely rough ride. In 2 days I'm Having Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires installed, I have a feeling this is going to be MUCH more comfortable!

@DawidWarsaw 5 лет назад

I have Bridgestone Driveguard runflat tires winter set, as well as summer set and I'm happy with it. Not so stiff, not so rough ride with them and they are giving me comfort of not having to change wheel on the highway, at night, or when it's cold or raining outside.

When I bought my Lexus , first think in my mind is to put run flats on it. I did it and was very happy. I drove 45k miles on my 2019 Lexus 450h on my run flat. time to change for 2nd set of four. I have 5 flats during 45k males. its saves me time(never late to work, meeting ), saves me money(never replace tire after puncture) , saves my life(never stoped on road that cars passing by me at 70miles per hour). Yes I pay for run flats $400 more than regular tires. but you can't by life for $400.

I had run flat tires on my Audi. I can tell that the steering was way more precise than with regular tires because of the steel walls. Also, we ran almost 20 km whithout noticing that the tire was flat. No sound or vibration at all.
