I like the piece of mind afforded by runflats. Continental makes a set that fits my IS-F perfectly. :yesnod:

It depends on your application. If you plan on driving aggressively, Non runflats will give you a better experience. Daily driving with peace of mind-Runflats.

I use non-runflats and no Lloyd's mats when I throw caution to the wind...

I have had both run flats and non-run flats. In my opinion there is not that much difference in the ride between the two types.
I buy run flats for the piece of mind and safety. How many times have you heard of someone on the side of a road changing a flat and getting killed by a car hitting them? Or how about a flat in the middle of a storm or in a bad part of town? I choose the run flats. |
I have been driving since 1976 and in all those years, I have yet to get a flat that stopped me right there on the road. Slow leaks at best and one fast leak that I still drove to Discount Tire on.
My vote is non run flats. |

I use run flats! Worked on cars including working at a friends garage for years so I know how to change tires. Its just so much easier to have the peace of mind, the Vette is a 4th vechicle and other than them being noisier they work out fine for me! |

I used to buy different non-run flat tires. I also have the Pirelli Cinturato P7 run-flats that I bought from 4WheelOnline. You can't really tell the difference at first but it's hard to tell if it is low on air. I needed a TPMS system and check the tire pressure frequently. You may also notice a harsher ride in RF tires but I agree that they give you peace of mind.

Runflats saved my bacon both times on sidewall blowouts. Both times I drove extended distances. |
The vert has run flats all other cars are regular , can’t really tell the difference
Very true, indeed |

I've only used run flats on my wife's last car. I've only had two flat tires in my life, and one was a slow leak.
