WPAWS Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 When time comes to replace my tyres what do you suggest stick with what i have at the moment Run Flats or just get normal tyres on my car, i have been looking and the run flats do seem expensive.

Trevor Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I would consider running normal tyres and ensure you have an emergency kit to inflate if punctured. Alternatively, you could try running Slime in the tyres, prevents punctures in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPAWS Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 My Car is not going to be clocking up loads of miles so i`m thinking of just replacing the run flats with mid range tyres for now as the high performance tyres are a bit out of my budget at this silly time of the year with xmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hello Paul, One consideration not mentioned is that of ride comfort vs. handling. It sounds as if your car was built/bought for road handling rather than the ride comfort. Run flat tyres are inherently firmer since they have reinforced side walls capable of withstanding loads under deflated conditions. I would recommend non run- flat tyres for 'normal ' cars, but for yours , you might wish to consider the possible effect of handling if you do move away from fun flats. Not sure if this helps, but at least it might introduce more debate before you decide. Kind regards, Gareth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
