Run Flat Tires
Ive heard mixed feelings about these things. Does anyone have them or have any experience with them. What are the common pro's and con's?

Pro: you don't ruin a rim when you have a blowout.
Con: they suck with handling and ride quality.

It is all in the give and take.

My friends with beemers that have them don't like runflats at all. They say that they handle poorly, are too noisly, and don't grip well.
