Re: (*) Run Flat Tires ~ Viable Replacement Option...???
Get non-run flats and get a tire repair kit. Use the plugs and the air inflator in the trunk if you get a flat. Always inspect your tires before you get in the car. I had Conti run flats and they go flat pretty quick anyways if you get a screw or something in there. Now running Cooper RS3-As and have never had a flat. Had 2 flats with the contis, don't know if that means anything. Ran the contis for 5,000 or so miles, have been on the coopers for about the same without issues.
