Where to get 17" Bridegestone RFT's?

eleven · 05-28-2008, 01:29 AM

Hi guys,

I got a warning from the TPM. I get out of the car and saw that I possibly had a "bubble" burst on my front driver side tire and is leaking air fast. I can hear the air coming out from the sidewall, the "burst" caused an "crack" of about 1 inch high.

Where can I get the 17" Bridgestone RFT's around Flushing, Queens?

Thanks in advance!

Is the car bought or leased? If bought I recommend going with regular tires, run flats are terrible.

RFTs are terrible, but there safer and you can drive on them. damn you hear air coming out? thats not good you mustve really f'd it up. its not easy to puncture RFTs.

I don't think many places carry them in stock, you either have to order them in or go back to the dealership to have it replaced.

Don't get runflats, get standard tires, it will be much more comfortable when driving.
