Run flats to regulate tires?

Dariii97 · 01-19-2016, 11:44 PM

Hey guys, is it possible to put regular tires on rims that had run flat tires on them? Run flats are a little too expensive for me 😅

Yes, 99% of people on here do this.

yes you can and the ride will be more comfortable too!

More grip, less noise, less harsh and half the price.

If only other decisions in life were this easy.

Do it. Infinitely better.

no brainer, just throw a can of slime/compressor or the continental tire repair unit in the trunk, this is what they do with the M cars anyway.

I did it after many years. RFT yeah too expensive and hars ride. One thing i have to say the handling is way better on RFT in my opinion.

with stock suspension, non run flats will really tame the feel of the car... for some this will be better, for others not so good
