Different tires have different handling characteristics. Michelin Latitude RFTs will handle differently than Continental RFTs or Bridgestone RFTs.

On a 19" rim from the factory you can get any of the current OEM tires...no way to spec which you get. In fact the general desire among many has been to win the 'Michelin lottery'... I recall multiple comments and posts with people wondering 'what will I get'...

Without someome specifying WHICH runflat was 'horrible", it is inappropriate for new readers to make a decision about "all runflats"...that is to say, people that are saying "I had those RFTs and they were horrible" may in fact be talking about Bridgestones...which are horrible. Like I said, less complaints about the michs..not perfect, just less.

Lets make this simple.... what would you say if someone posted "I test drove a BMW and didn't like the way it handled ... so I bought a Toyota"?

As others have pointed out above- RFTs as a CLASS have stiffer sidewalls. But just like all tires aren't equally great, all RFTs aren't equally bad.




And to my buddy rh- If you find it annoying, my day is complete.
