Default No run flats

How does anybody feel about no "run flats". I'm mighty comfy knowing I can go anywhere anytime. I might buy this silver Vette at genthecheytworld.com,(that address is here so you all can see my possible new car,and no other reason).Of course the car is worth it,of course the deal on my trade in 99frc is good,it's all so good. But is your piece of mind gone?

I had non run flats on my 2000 convertible and no spare, my M5 has non run flats and no spare, and my Z06 has non run flats and no spare, I really never think about it, that is what cell phones are for. ;)

I keep an eye on the monitoring system on the DIC and of course, carry a repair kit and compressor at all times. I am feeling more comfortable as times goes on! Also what Carl said, "That's what cell phones are for" :)

Fine, but the Z06 doesn't have low tire pressure sensors.

I've never trusted the durn things anyway.
