Tire replacement advice - Run Flat or Regular (NO Run Flat) ???

[Hitman]

Google Gemini says... 

Run-flat tires and regular tires have different advantages and disadvantages, including: 

 

• Cost

  Run-flat tires can cost 35–200% more than regular tires, ranging from $150–$500 per tire. 

   

• Availability

  Run-flat tires are often only available as original equipment tires for new cars, and can be difficult to find as replacements. 

   

• Equipment

  Most vehicles with run-flat tires don't come with a spare tire or tire-changing equipment. 

   

• Tire pressure monitoring

  Run-flat tires need to be used with tire pressure monitoring systems because they don't look different when they're low on air. 

   

• Repairs

  Run-flat tires can't be repaired. 

• Ride quality

  Regular tires are generally quieter and smoother than run-flat tires because of their softer sidewalls. 

   
• Tread life

  Regular tires usually last longer than run-flat tires. 

   
• Punctures

  Run-flat tires can be driven on for up to 50 miles at 50 mph after a puncture, while regular tires can blow out. Run-flat tires are more stable than regular tires when they lose air, helping drivers maintain control. 

   

  Which one to choose ??

SUV (GLE 300).  Original tires are Run-Flat, only drove 21K.. now want to change . I felt the drive was not smooth so considering for Regular tires.

if you want a smooth comfortable ride with less road noise choose a non RFT, carry a flat repair kit for emergencies. Michelin, continental, bridgestone and yokohama makes great tires. I ditched runflats and using Michelin ps as4 and conti dws 06 for my two cars, they're really good!

check tirerack for reviews and guidance

My bimmer came with RFT's and didnt even last for 30k. Took the risk and changed to regular Bridgestone tires. After 60k miles since the change....still running like a champ. Better suspension due to soft sidewalls. Only risk is, no spare tire to rely on.

Regular lo bridgestone ni beat chesedi ledu...in terms of durability.
