Emergency tire advice needed...
I need to spend a lot of time on the road next week and Saturday is the only day that I can get new tires. I have a leak in my front left and my left rear has a rather large metal disc buried halfway into the tire. These are Goodyear runflats that only had about 10k of life left....so I'll just buy a new set.
Here is the question....what are the absolute best runflats? My car is a daily driver. For me "daily driver" means a couple days of puttering around town and then another couple days of driving back and forth across North Carolina. So, I need to have runflats. Sometimes I drive aggressively on the backroads, etc...but I do not autocross or race.
I could search, but I just need the info quick. I will probably need to order them first thing tomorrow morning. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
