Even if my experiences are rare occurrences, sounds like there's the assumption that all people are going to react immediately to TPMS warnings. Not everyone can or will pull over right away to fix a TPMS warning. I've seen completely shredded run-flats where the driver ignored the 0 PSI warning. They thought the pressure sensor was wrong since the tire didn't "look flat." Not a stretch to figure that there are people in the middle that'll still seal and inflate a run-flat but will take their time doing it because it doesn't look as bad as a non-RoF does.

If that happened with a non-run flat, you'd also drive on and damage the non-run-flat tire and you'd have the same problem with the tire integrity, probably worse. Non-sequitur. Again, I fail to see any difference where you can't use fix-a-flat in a run-flat tire.

My experiences aside, the point I'm trying to highlight for OP, you, and anyone else that appears to be under the impression that the sealant kit was supposed to be included with a car built with run-flats is that it's left out on purpose. It's not solely cost or weight savings, but also liability for the OEM unnecessarily giving an unwitting customer the means to turn a flat tire into a blow-out. I'll admit my original by statement of, "sealant isn't supposed to be used with run-flats," is worded poorly vs. what I'm trying to convey. Sealant can be used as long as care is taken to make sure it's not used on a tire that should really be replaced. However, since it's not necessarily common knowledge when a run-flat should be replaced even though it looks OK on the exterior, it's not a generally recommended practice.

With that said, there are some Michelin ZP's (Zero Pressure) tires that may fit the criteria. The Pilot Super Sport ZP (standard tire on various C7 Corvettes) is a 300TW tire that you can find in a 245/285 19inch mix. There is the Pilot Sport Cup 2 ZP, a 180TW tire, in the 285/30R19 size. Pair that with the PSS ZP in a 245/35R19 front to make a staggered set for the V6 1LE. Let us know which way you go |

All excellent advice from all of you.
I really appreciate it. Since I have another daily driver I like your ideas of the Michelins and the Goodyear SC3 with an aggressive tread wear value between 200 and 300
