Follow up Crossfire tire question about run flat tires........

RoadTrack article says......... “Run-flat tires do have downsides. Their stiff sidewalls, which are required to hold the tire up when deflated, tend to make the car ride noticeably harder over rough pavement, but tire tech is continually improving and run-flats aren’t nearly the penalty they were a decade ago. Choice is also more limited than with conventional tires and run-flats are premium-priced. In general, we'd recommend swapping to conventional tires and carrying a spare or mini-spare if possible.

I’m guessing that the odds of being Flat on the side of the road is rare, and most enjoy 25 mile “no charge tows“. Are we giving up ride comfort and a less expensive tire for this ?

is there a thread discussion or reader comments on Run Flats ?
