Default Is there not a run flat option for 20/21 setup?

Hey guys, I am looking for a tire option that is zero pressure. Are there any out there for a 20/21 setup? I just really do not like the idea of not having a spare--likely not having a local option to get a quick replacement tire--and being stranded quickly with a flat. I want to find a run flat option if at all available that would work with this setup, otherwise I am thinking I will go back to a 19/20 wheel and tire option.

Our cars come factory with run flats correct, which is a 19/20 size setup. I have a 20/21 setup on mine and which do not have run flats. I have been looking and cannot find any in a size that would work.

What are you guys running this setup doing as far as backup on a flat? Could you even comfortably take the car on a trip knowing if you get a flat your screwed?

The C8 Z06 20/21 doesn't use the heavier/slower ZP aka run flats.

I don't like them as well and have non ZP's on my C8.

I’m surprised about the Z06. I bought a Slime Digital Emergency Flat Tire Repair Kit 50123 and threw it in the frunk. Probably not ideal but gave me some peace of mind.

It clearly says on the Z06 builder that the tires on the Z06 are runflats. Myth-busted

Good news. Here are the C8 Z06 20/21 run flats you should hopefully be able to source

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 275/30ZR20 front and 345/25ZR21 rear, high performance, run-flat summer-only tires.
