Run Flat Question
What are the pros and cons on runflats?
I am needing new tires. Never go to track but do run hard on the street occassionaly.
I don't think there is a spare on my 98 c5 so it seems runflats are a good option.
thanks for advice

Pros.... you can drive a distance ( varies by brand) without air and not ruin your wheel.
Very stiff side walls helping reduce roll.
Cons
NOISE
bump steer
overall poor handling

Take a look at the Michelin Pilot Sport ZPs (run-flats).
I changed to them and it changed my entire view of run-flats.
Much quieter, better feel, better tracking.
