Which is better, run-flat or regular tires?
Run-flat tires are designed to do one thing conventional tires can’t: Keep you driving after a full-air-loss puncture. In every other respect, they are inferior to conventional tires. Run-flat tires: Cost more to replace. Run flat tires are estimated to cost between $200 and $500 each. Run-flat tires are slightly more expensive to manufacture than standard tires due to the additional reinforcements included.Depending on brand and vehicle, run-flats can cost as much as double what equivalent conventional tire costs. Still, you can find deals. For instance, Tire Rack currently charges between $217 and $270 for various Bridgestone run-flat tires that fit a 2016 BMW 328i.
Can I replace normal tyres with run flats?
The short answer is: no. While run flat tyres can physically fit many standard rims, there are several important points to consider before making the switch. And having run flat tyres fitted to a car not designed for them can cause problems. If you decide you want to replace the run-flats that came on your car with standard tires, it’s perfectly fine to mount them on your existing wheels. They’ll fit properly so as long as they’re the same size.
