Cool Re: Potential new guy has another question...
I was told that I DO have run flats on my car. I only found out after I ran over a nail and took it to a get a patch... but instead of a patch, I had to buy a brand new tire - and I only had 400 miles on the car when it happened!!

And as an FYI, in case you have not had the pleasure, to get tires for this car is quite an ordeal and I recommend to anyone (in the US) to order them online at Tire Rack (www.tirerack.com/index.jsp). Instead of $330 for one tire, I paid $165 and that included shipping.

Anyway, I went back to the dealer where I bought the car and they explained that when the tire gauge inside registers that there is a flat tire, I have approx. 100 miles left on the tire before I have a possible blow out.

So what is the real truth here?
