What's the Deal with the Cost of Run Flat Tires for BMW X3?

That makes sense! But for peace of mind, I think they can be worth it.

Is it true that run flats can’t be repaired if you get a flat? That seems like another problem to consider.

That’s what I’ve heard too! Once you’re flat, it’s time for a new tire. Very limiting.

I tell my friends running these tires is a gamble! If you drive normally, you might be fine, but if you like to push speeds, tread life is a real concern.

You have a point! I’d rather not splurge on them if they’re gonna be the first to go.

Why not just get a spare tire instead? At least you can drive to a shop instead of being sidelined with a flat.

You’d miss out on trunk space though! It always comes with a trade-off.
