[QUOTE="peanut, post: 327399, member: 7578"] I just changed all my 4 tires from Run Flat to Michellin PS2. For 18", the same Bridgestone RE050 fitted on the stock 325Sports is about RM1600-1800 per piece. As a comparison, PS2 averages about RM1000 per piece due to difference in size for front and back. I was going to replace mine with RFT but at that time there were no stock. RFT's advantage is that you can still drive at "normal" speed even with the puncture. One of mine hit a pothole and the sidewall bulged up and I was going at 120+ kmh after the pothole hit (at the time didn't realize the bulging problem). However, compared with PS2, the Bridgestone RE050 performs worse in wet and also in overall grip/handling. In conclusion, non RFT is cheaper and performs slightly better (for tires of the same class). Of course, piece of mind and safety is better with RFT. Ever since I changed to non RFT, I bought the tire repair kit from Ingress (abt RM670?) for my peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
