I will never buy Run Flat tires for any of my vehicles unless I have no other choice.
I'm with you in spirit. But, I'm frugal enough to wait until may run craps are worn down a bit before I switch.

For sure, I will never buy run flats other than as OEM on a new car.

I've had one flat in 30 years and run flats would not have helped in my situation. I'm not going to let fear and peace of mind dictate my ride quality.
