Tires

I think most tire places will quote you and order whatever you want. Tirerack shows 3 RF options in our size, including the original Bridgestone Dueler H/L's that came on my car.

The conti's come with the flat repair kit? My dealer had some cars with the RF Bridgestones and others with the Conti's. Assuming you're in North America, Tirerack shows lots of tires in the 235/50-18 size but I'm limited to the RF's unless I get a spare or the repair kit. I'm reaching the point in life where I can't be bothered with changing or repairing a tire on the side of the road so I like the idea of the RF's. My wife's car also has RF's and I think that's really a good thing for her. My luck I'd get the flat crossing the George Washington Bridge on a holiday weekend.....

No tire repair kit with the Conti's? What do you do if you get a flat?
