Well you can put me in that category... I dont care if the car comes with runflats its a good idea. I like the safety part of it but I will not replace my tires with runflats when its time for a replacemnt.

After 1000km I exchanged my RFTs with normal Michelin tires. The run flats were way to hard for me because of my back. The normal tires are softer. I researched RFTs and found that there are two types (maybe more): the ones with stiff sides and the ones with normal tires with a stiff inner core. The latter have the advantage of softer driving combined with the security of RFTs in case of tire damage. I wanted this PAX system but it wasn't available for the 5xx. Only the 7xx.

Put Nitrogen in the tires I have them on all my cars and itis 1000x better for ride. But if you get it make shore that they suck all the air out of the tire and then put the Nitrogen in.

If you what a very smooth and almost no nosie tire ride.
And why would Nitrogen give you a smooth and almost no noise ride? To the best of my knowledge Nitrogen willnot expand or contract do to a change in temperature and it is moisture free not like air thats the reason for the question. How can that effect the ride?
cheers
