I will tell you this, if you ditch the runflats (sorry to be so redundant, folks, with my warnings about this): Have the sensors replaced... do not go without them. The DIC messages will drive you absolutely MAD, in more ways than one. If you don't have the sensors reinstalled, you will need to have someone do an edit on your computer. I wish someone would've given me that tidbit of advice before I changed mine out.
tell me where i can get this edit done-- the local chevy dealer tech just scratched his head when i asked him about it!!

I second the Continentals. Great tire,just not real popular around here. Sticky and quiet. I got a small air compressor for piece of mind.

First, find another dealer to do any work needed.

Second, many of the tunners can assist - find one in your area.
