A search of Tire Rack, Bridgestone and Michelin's websites didn't turn up any Run Flat options. Are there any out there?

 

did you do a vehivle specific search or tire search? Do a tire search, since it probably wouldn't come up with the vehicle specific since it wasn't a factory "option." Why do you want run flats? they weigh more, and sacrifice performance. I know kumho makes some runflats....

 

Pirelli eufori@ last time I checked in 225/255, but don't do it.

 

I'm looking into the run flats so I can dump the spare and put an amp in its place. Although, I just read that some are puting the smaller amps behind the passenger seat which should work in my case. Does the degraded performance come from increased tire weight? I'm surprised more people aren't interested because of the safety benefit.

 

go over to corvetteforum.com there are some die hard "run flat-ers" over there, do a search and you'll probably find just the info your looking for

 

run flats have very stiff side walls which reduces cornering performance. also the weight issue.

 

You have to add sensors if you have run flats so that you'll know when one of them is in trouble. Otherwise, you'll have a world class blowout after about 200 miles of running on a compromised tire. Most people find that it's not worth messing with and paying for the sensors. Plus, the tires do suck - performance wise.

 

Thanks for the info! I may just keep the spare

 

Ditch the spare, get AAA and a can of fix-a-flat and you're good to go.

 

I've thought about that but I enjoy backpacking in out of the way places and I'd rather not be stranded.
