had them on a bmw, very stiff, poor ride, expensive to replace, you get very low mileage out of them. Best to stay away.

Yup, they kinda suck! Very stiff and LOUD! However, I was able to test out the Runflat feature right away as the front driver's tire had an air leak at one of the valve stems. It only had 3lbs of air in it when I drove it to the nearest shop to get replaced. It drove fine but I had to hold onto the steering wheel pretty good since it wanted to pull hard to the left. I think I'll stay on them for a while, until I can't stand them anymore...lol.

Some time this summer most likely. I'd buy new and just sell these for super cheap, that is if anyone actually wanted them. I'm going to have to start posting less, I'm getting cheap shots everytime I post lately...

More like run CRAPS. M I RITE?My feeling is that they are for armored vehicles and sports cars without spare tires.
