Run Flat Tires

In the four years I've had these tires, I've never bent a rim or blown a tire. Instead, I get a smoother ride, and better gas mileage. The taller tires also fill in some of the fender gap with out having to lower the car. It's a win win win situation. Don't be scared of taller tires.

I did the same. Just put PS4S summers on my F06 M6 that are +10mm width AND +5 aspect ratio in the back compared to OEM. It's a tight fit but there's no rubbing and the ride is quite smooth. I posted about it in the M6 forums. If I ever track the car I'll see about getting PSC2s in OEM aspect ratio.

Anyone experienced with PS A/S vs. PS4? Don’t really need A/S here but dang these are BOTH hard to come by right now, at least for 19” staggered config.

I just put the PS4s on mine because i couldnt find the all seasons. I had run flats before this and honestly i cant tell a big difference. im in the same boat, i live in NC and really dont need all seasons, just looking for a good ride given its my daily driver.

PS4S or PS4?

From the runflat, really, no significant difference noted?

In April I hit a pothole and had to replace the front left tire (along with the front right I suppose). We made the decision to replace the tires with Continentals. "What about a spare?" I asked. Just call CAA and have it towed was the reply I got. Well...last night we did it again. A flat on our brand new tires after hitting another pothole. We waited 3 hours for CAA and when we finally got a hold of them they told us that they didn't have a flatbed to get us home and had no idea when they could do it. We called another towing company that were great and picked us up 15 minutes after we called. Towing bill $452 plus a new $380 tire. This question has probably been asked many times - but what do you all do for a spare tire? Or do you just stay with your run flats? TIA

Identical situation last night but AAA LEFT us hanging 3.5 hours and I paid out of pocket $407
