Runflat vs. Non Runflat
What should I do? Runflat quote for 1 tire in Hattiesburg was $430. I know I can get them from TireRack for around $370 and still have to pay to get them mounted and balanced. I have AAA Roadside assistance and no spare. What would you do?

Sorry,
Should I go with a non runflat tire that I can get for half the price of a run flat. Got a quote for around $230/tire for non runflats.

If you are only having to replace one, go with the runflats. If you are looking to replace all four, then you can go with non-runflats - like you said, much cheaper. Tire pressure sensors will work also. Just remember, if you have a flat, be prepared to stop and get it taken care of.

Pay the tire shop price. You'll spend the $60 in labor getting the runflat from Tire Rack, mounted and balanced, and your sensor reinstalled. If you have to pay shipping too, you're way ahead by staying with the shop.
