My experience with run-flat tire are awful. They are heavier, have much more rolling resistance, ride like ***** and are noisy. I don't care whether the vehicle has a spare or not I'm running regular tires on it. My '07 Jeep SRT8 came with Goodyears and they were all the above and worse. Finally a few companies started manufacturing / selling sizes that would work (staggered steam rollers) with the all wheel drive.

For me waaay smoother ride running more PSI, better feel, no noise and to top it off 1 more MPG overall than before. My (new to me) '07 BMW 328XI - is the first thing I'm replacing is the runflats
