Message	A post below got me thinking about it.... The run flats are susposto have really stiff sidewalls so you can drive on them with zero tire pressure if you hit a nail or somehow get a flat. Well my question is how are you susposto know when you have a flat if the tire stays "inflated looking" would you just have to check your tire pressure to find out? This seems like it would be more dangerious than a normal tire. The tire with 0 tire pressure only lasts 50-100mi so after that the tire minght start to disinigrate and cause you to wreck your car. Also the tire could be damaged from driving on it unknowingly and instead of taking a regular tire in to get plugged or patched you would be going to get a whole new tire because it was destroyed. Hmm I dont know what are your thoughts on this anyone used these tires before? -Justin 90n/a Aztec Red stage IV+ Look for me driving around OU AIM---- cheezoto
