Tire help for 215 20"

I´ve been searching and was thinking about the Dunlop Sport Maxx runonflat 275-40-20 front and 315-35-20 rear, since my E-70 has the third seat row and not being able to place the spare tire kit.

At the same time I´ve heard a lot about the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta´s performance, low noise level, tests and price (there is like $800 difference than the Dunlops). The only issue is that i´m going to be running without a spare tire and feel might be a little risky.

There is an option if I carry a air spray in case of a flat or a air compressor.

I need some help from you guys urgent

p.s. the wheels are 10" front and 11" rear wide.

why not just get a spare tire from ebay and get the verdi's and save some dough. the 275's will fit the front and 315 are just right for the rear. besides that u should be fine.

The only problem would be where to place the spare tire, I have the third seat row and there is no room to place the spare.

do u use the third row seat option. you could just take it out. or do like me and get AAA with the extended mile coverage and what ever the problem they can tow your truck back to your home or tire place free of charge upto 100 miles and you get 4 calls a year. If only the x did what ranger rover does with their spare....u wouldn't have this problem

You are definitely right, they should've thought about that in the event you didn`t want to go back to expensive tires as the runonflat and leave an option for a spare tire.
Anyway, I'm going to go ahead with the Vredestein and take a chance in case of a flat tire, I might go to plan B and keep a small compressor in the car just in case.

As long as you don't have a catastrophic blowout.
