Just wanna share this
Runflat Pros:
1: Drive over a nail and you can keep driving the car.

Runflat Cons:
1: Expensive to replace, compared to conventional tyres.
2: Harsher ride, compared to conventional tyres.
3: Less grip, compared to conventional tyres.
4: Difficult to remove/replace on rim, compared to conventional tyres.
5: Less choice for replacement when you've worn them out, compared to conventional tyres.
6: Inferior, compared to conventional tyres.

If everyone did that, it could eliminate a lot of the threads in this forum.
