Default Run flats vs. regular tires

Need help! I want to go with wider tires on my c5 was told that there is no run flat tires that are 305/40/18 soo I was wondering if anyone here can tell me if there is any cons going with a non run flat tire. I always wondered how all the other vettes I have seen have these wider tires I always thought that they were run flats until I went to tire places and they said they don't have them, that I am running the widest tire I can get as of run flats.

The only con to not using Runflats...is they are not runflat.

Non runflats are much better for traction, and quiter smoother ride (depending on brand of tire). Most guys will not ever go back to run flats, including me!!
