The Run-Flat Alternative

[6 Shooter]

​

Admittedly, it's far from a statistically valid survey, but if I were to judge by the letters and e-mails that come into VETTE Command Central, and the comments and questions I hear at various Corvette events around the country, there are a lot of C5 owners who find the factory-installed Goodyear Eagle EMTs to be, well, less than the greatest. Hey, it's no big deal to switch over to some other brand when the OEM run-flats are due for replacement, right? Only it is a big deal, and a wee bit more complex than that.

More Grip Less Noise

I really don't have a dog in this fight but in my humble opinion, I believe the non runflats are the answer when it comes to real improved performance. If you carry a fix-it kit like the one in the Z06's, along with a cell phone and AAA you'll be fine.
Remo:cool

I like the security in the run flats .I travel 20,000 miles a year with mine and I'd hate to get a flat @2am in Harlem.Then I'd be havinin' to flat out run .

I will have to admit that the GY's have improved the C6 tires over the C5.

If this actually happened to you.....run flats wouldn't make one bit of difference.:L

My Mistake

I thought this was going to be a discussion about "run-flat alternatives."
But instead it's turned into a mutual admiration society meeting for the
run flat security weenies.:L
