Thanks for all of the input folks. Since I use this Vette for trips and such, I decided to go with Michelin Pilot Sport Run Flats. I'll keep a 12V compressor in the back for an emergency as back-up. Just a comfort thing I guess. Trying to find a nail/screw and plug a tire in the rain and dark is the worst scenario I can think of. Might never happen but why chance it? Thanks again.

I have RFs but if I'm in say, Monument Valley or in the middle of Montana and pick up a nail I'd rather plug it than drive on it for miles and miles.....Just might save the tire.

My Goodyear F1 G1s are telling me they are tired. I am leaning at the Michelin PSS for our GS.
Already have the fixit stuff from when we had NT05s on our Z.
So we will be joining the non runflat club.

I just cannot believe the difference. I took the Michelin run flats off and put on the Michelin SS non run flat and WOW.

I am due for tires this spring and have not decided on what tires yet. So thinking about it I thought it would be a good idea to save one front and one back tire to keep at home. I figure if I get a flat not too far from home I can call my wife or friend to bring one out. Just a thought.

The compressor takes up no usable storage space and I already have one. It might also be used to extend the miles I can go if a tire begins to lose air if I'm in the middle of nowhere. Just a little extra insurance that's all.
