My Lexus '06 GS300 came with run-flat tires, they hold the road well and the tire pressure sensors work well too, having detected a 5 psi difference between one tire and the others. However, they are expensive, apparently don't last as long as regular tires, and give a harsh ride. For this reason, when the time comes, I would like to consider replacing them with regular tires. If I go to my Lexus dealer, he'll try to talk me out of it, I know, and if I go to an independent tire dealer, I am not sure they will care whether I get the right tire for the car or not, nor will they give a hoot about my tire pressure sensors that must be recalibrated after each tire change. Any ideas out there?
