If u don't notice a flat soon enuf w/ conventional tires, u've to mess w/ dismounting a 40lb tire plus the weight of a 19-21 inch rim, covered with brake dust & better hope your trunk is not packed w/ stuff & pray that it's not raining.
Of course u can wait for roadside assistance & finally put the dvd entertainment system thru the paces.
Check out the Bridgestone/Pirelli/ Conti website & let us know how u do.
Agree! When tire failure occurs it is always at the worst possible time and place...The option of limping home on a runflat is quite attractive, but I don't know how much of a premium I'm willing to pay for that peace of mind!
