Were you able to drive home even though the run flat lost air? Do you want to try and plug a tire on the side of the road? Chances are that a regular tire would have been toast by the time you got pulled over any way.

You can't go wrong with the Hankook V12's at Discount tire on Monroe St. here in Toledo. Ask for the manager, Charlie Ufford, and tell him that Big Tom with the red covertible Corvette said to take care of my fellow forum members! However, to get the best deal, the $80 rebate from Hankook and the $75 rebate from Discount tire, you have to move on it by this weekend.

Do not compare goodyear run flats to other run flats, they are the worst for road noise and handling. There are better run flats out there.
