The run on flats are for no spare/repair kits etc...
I ditched mine a piece ago, the thread is below this one... No legalities |

I can't imagine those tires are working well with winter temps in Bucks Cty, PA. Unless you are parking the car for the winter you need to get all-seasons. The run flats are summer tires.
Many threads here on the topic of good alternates. |

You need either all seasons or dedicated winter tires for now, as these are summer only, in my experience they are quite slippery under 60-65°, and they may even crack when used in extreme low temperatures. Non-runflat tires will give you better ride quality, but you will need a repair kit or a tow if a nail or screw decides to check out your rubber from up close.

The manual expressly warns about these tires cracking in temps less than 30. It actually says a lot about Camaro buyers that people here are not screaming about suing the pants off GM for putting "dangerous" summer tires on this car. If Honda tried to put summer-only tires on one of their sport models people would be flying off the road left and right and talking class action! |
