I picked up a nail in my rear runflat with only 700 miles. It was near the center. Goodyear plugged and patched it for 20 bucks. I now have about 2500 miles with no problems at all.

If you go the non- Run flat route take a look at the Kuhmos or the BFG KDW's.
I went with the KDW's and should have them installed by the end of the week. I also ended up going a little larger than stock sizes with 255 in the front and 295 in the rear which will close the fender well gap another half inch or so.

Tire's Dead
The tire is damaged beyond repair, so I'm either going to
1) Pay 50% ($250) for a replacement and buy a matching new one for the other rear ($500) and have the front / back out-of-synch in terms of wear, or
2) Scrap all 4 tires and buy a different style of tire.
I'll do some searching on here -- maybe someone has started a poll of the various tire options.

If you stay with stock sizes and go with non run flats the Kuhmo's are a good choice.

Which Kuhmo's are you guys talking about? I have seen a lot about the BFG KDW2's, so that's high on my list. The PS2's are probably not in range given the price, but they sound like the ultimate performance tire.
