Ok. Why not run flats? Run flats are new to me, but it sounds appealing. Do they perform inferior to normal tires? Is the extra cost moving people away from them?
For example, TireRack has Alpine PA3 in run flat for: 229.00 and non run flat for: 184.00. So a difference of US $45.00 each tire. Not worth the exta cost? Is that it?
I also have CAA, but the convenience of keeping on going to where you have to be instead of waiting for CAA to tow you to where you don't want to go is appealing. After all my last set of Alpine snows have outlasted my previous car, so it would most likely be a only one time purchase.
Is there more about run flats I should know about? Heavier? Performance? Fuel consumption? More expensive to install?
Thanks
Lino
