    Default Run Flat Tires Note

    In this months Roundel, they mentioned that with run flat zero pressure tires, if they are removed from the rim, they should never be remounted or used again. That sucks, I hate run flats even more.

    Also the new 5 series (E60) failed the Elk test, all models spun out during testing. This happened when filled w/ people & luggage. But w/ the weight of only a single person it was fine. The spin out was also attributed to run flats and the stiffer sidewalls.

    I don't care what you say about run-flats, I love them after the e90 chase that happened 2 days ago in Texas.
