My 2006 GS300 is equipped with run-flat tires. Once you have a flat, the manual suggests replacing all four tires. I am approaching
PS: I do not want to change rims to accommodate non-run-flats.
everything I've heard says to stay away from the run flats __________________________________________ Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
You may be able to find run-flat support for regular pneumatic tires. I think it was in UK news. Run flat tires allows the manufacturer to remove the spare tire, therefore saving some weight (increase MPG by a fraction). It also helps maintain some directional control when you have a higher speed blowout.
The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard may require manufacturer to provide a pneumatic spare, but does the own need to drive around with a spare? Will a tire shop install a non-spec tire? etc etc
