Nope! they were running door-plaque pressures already


A matter of taste
+ Steering bite: as per previous reviews on Continental Sport Contact 5P's, there is a slight loss of steering 'bite' when compared to the Bridgestone RFT's but with 19" alloys I've found this to be an improvement and makes the drive less fussy.

Those two points above, you need to run non run flats at around 10-15% higher pressure than run flats.
