Default Run flats or not?

I bought a 99 convertable triple blk, Last week, Anyway i had a flat rear tire and was shocked to see the prices on the E.M.T, wich the leak was so small i was able to fix, but i have heard that that run flats make the car ride rough? Are they worth the money?

I haven't had a flat in several years, so it ain't worth it to me. Under normal conditions, maintaining alignment, and with proper inflation, regular ol' radials should be just fine!

You will NOT believe how much better your ride will be with standard supercar tires, like the Goodyear GSD3s - quieter, smoother, and 24 lbs lighter than the super-stiff, kidney-pounding runflats. Save money and get a much better ride - how can you go wrong?
