Tires... hmmm
Who would've thought that getting runflats would be so hard.
I can only find one manufacturer that makes the RFs in the sizes I want.
Does anybody have experience with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFTs
Thanks,
I know what you're gonna say, get rid of the runcraps. I'm just looking at options.

What sizes are you looking for? There are several manufacturers that market rf's in stock sizes. I have the Firestone Firehawks and am extremely pleased w/them. The Firehawks are made in Japan and I'm sure at a Bridgestone factory. I have been very pleased w/Bridgestone's non-rf's on our Acura TL. Others on this forum have the Michelin rf's and are pleased, also.

245/40/18 front
275/40/18 rears
It seems from my searches that only Bridgestone Potenza comes in these sizes.
I wanted Michelin ZP but no luck in these sizes
Maybe I'll just get Pilot sports and a road worthy repair kit. oh yeh and AAA too.

about the Firestones. I have a set in the stock sizes and they have been excellent tires. Not sure if they make the fronts in a 40 series though.

I have Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZP 275/40/18s on the rear so they definitely make that size
Not sure about the non standard 18" size for the front though. Mine are 245/45/17s.
