Any good runflats
like almost everyone here I hate my tires on my C43. So damn Loud and don't last long. I'm on my second set of fronts now. I have the 19inch contis
While I think the conclusion is a lot of people are going to traditional tires, I'm not sure it's best for me. My wife and young daughter sometimes drive my car and if a flat were to happen I can't risk them being stranded on the road someplace. I don't think I could really rely on them using a slime kit either. So the runflats might still be the best solution for my my situation.
so - are there any good runflats out there for this car? Sound and longevity are the most important areas for me.

A good runflat is like an oxymoron.

I appreciate the feedback. Yes, I think most can agree that runflats suck. However, I think it probably fits what I need best, which is a level of security for the family when they drive the vehicle. If it's just me I would be fine having a slime kit or something temporarily to get be to a service station.
I'm just curious if anyone has had any good luck with runflats not being just horrible. I can't take the noise most of all. It's like I'm driving a Jeep with a lift kit on it.

We're pretty biased here. We hate runflats. Since you happen to like the noise they make and care for the security of your family, you should invest in immediate breakdown cover. There may be a time when the runflat fails and you will need the cover to be towed.
