Default Re: Necessary Run Flat Tires?

I was wondering if anybody could tell me if this is true - that crossfires are issued runflats from the manufacturer and that most "legitimate" shops will only install another set of runflats?
The guy didn't know what he was talking about. Crossfires never came with runflats. In development, Chrysler tested the car with runflats and found it drove terrible with them.

BTW, when we purchased our first Crossfire (used), the salesman said it had runflats. There are lots of misinformed people out there about these fine cars.
