Z51 run flats?
Hello all,
Took delivery of our 14 stingray coupe 3LT Z51 magnetic ride performance exhaust in the first week of December. The dealer told us that the tires are not run flats. Does anyone know if z51 cars were delivered without run flat tires? If not, can you tell me how to check if I have run flats?
Thanks,

Look at the tire it should say PILOT SUPER SPRORT ZP. ZP stands for zero pressure which is michelins term for run flat
if you can zoom in on this pic at the 10 o'clock position you will se the ZP

Talking out his/her ***. Check the sidewalls - they should have a zero-pressure note - "ZP" or similar. Too lazy to go look. I know for a fact that my 2013 GS was run-flat, because I hit a bolt and put a half-inch hole in a rear tire. Pressure went to zero, but I was still able to drive the car until my tire store could get a replacement.
