Run flats

polska9 · 01-01-2009, 08:22 PM

im new to the forums and so i figured i would just post the question. one of my oem run flat tires, good year rs-a's, is now flat and i need a replacement. what are my options? also are there any special considerations i need to account for when changing tires, like sensors or stems? i have never owned run flat tires before and my car is a x-drive thank you for all your help in advance.

Well since you got 3 other RFT's left its best to get another RFT to match. They will just mount a new run flat tire on and shouldn't mess with the TPMS.

I recommend you find a good shop that has the equipment to handle RFT's with TPMS and have them mount a new RFT. My dealer did it for me. But the next time I lose a tire, I'm replacing all of them with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's.

I replaced my Bridgestone OEM runflats with Michelin Pilot Sports PS2 ZP's (runflats) and couldn't be happier

I wish Michelin made RFT's for my car (225/45-17, 255/40-17). I'd buy them tomorrow even though they are expensive.

Are the Michelin much better than the stock ones?

needs to replace my RFTs w/ non-RFTs due to wear and noise. I need something that are not noisy and wear well. Anyone out there with non noisy and long wear tires?

way better. The PS2 are one of the better tires on the market. Treadlife isn't great but damn do they grip.

Anyone run these or know much about them:
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires?
