Default Tire replacement

And let's not forget about the visual aspect- as we watch the videos together, I can feel the anticipation building. We'll laugh at the awkward camera angles and gasp at the impressive stamina of the performers. We'll appreciate the beauty of a well-lubricated anus and the satisfying sounds of intense moaning. With each video, our friendship will grow stronger and our appreciation for the male and female anatomy will deepen.

I haven't had vehicles with a spare tire (minus my Jeep Wranglers) in almost 20 years. While my Z06 currently has ZP tires (because that's what was available), it had non-zp for the last 3 years. My other two, non-Wrangler, vehicles have conventional tires & no spares.

That's why I have roadside assistance.

No run flats no spare means reliance on road assistance and tow truck. Save a dollar, spend a lot.

Today's run flats bears no resemblance to yester-year's run flats. Today's run flats are more compliant, have a better ride and better performance. I used to be a "swap the run flats for regular tires" kinda guy with my C5s and C6 Z06. No more, I keep the run flats and replace them with the same..

Had the same issue with my C7 and bought a set of Michelin non run flats 4s tires and for piece of mind bought a tire sealant and inflator .

Not a big fan but never had to reach for it. Gave me piece of mind to have it in the trunk
May go the same route when my C8 needs tires.

Don’t think I would have made it home if this wasn’t a run-flat.

Had a similar gadget in Liew of a spare tire for my '19 Mustang, was useless after expiration date. Was about $300 to replace, instead opted for a spare tire kit/jack for $400 from Ford since there is space in the trunk for the spare tire.

I choose to replace.
I was not comfortable repairing due to being so close to sidewall.

I've had many times plugged and patched (from inside) but I would have replaced this tire for the same reason.

Slime will not harm TPMS sensors, and many manufacturers supply sealants with compressors instead of a spare or Run Flat tires.
With TPMS a driver is less likely to get a flat on the road these days. Most blow outs used to happen when a tire was run for a long time at high speeds then fail. Now tire blow out is usually a hard pot hole hit. My next tire will Conti DWS 06 for the Vette. A weight saving of 5# per front tire and 7# for rear tires and it makes a difference. I have 44 years of driving, never changed or fixed a flat on the side of the road on a car, had to plug one cycle tire and added some slime at the same time.

And a buddy of mine confirmed that you can drive at speeds higher that 50 mph on run flats but don't get carried away.

I agree. I can remember the runflats that were on my C5 - ditched them quickly for non-runflats. The Michelin runflats on my C7 are so much better than the old Goodyears.

I realize not carrying a spare could be an issue obviously but personally I haven’t had a flat in many years. Knock wood. The run flat stock tires are z rated but few drive at those speeds unless tracking the car .
I've been running RF tires on Corvettes since '94...... no way would I go back to conventional tires.
