I have a 2022 Lexus NX, with nearly 30k miles. I guess that the runflat tires have reached their life expectancy, because they are awful! I did a u-turn the other day and they screeched so loud, it was embarrasing! They're also loud and have no grip! This week I replaced them with Michelin Defender 2 tires and the ride has incredibly improved (night and day)!!!

I’ve ran runflats since 2007 on almost all my cars. I liked not having to stop when I got a flat and just stopping off early the next day to get it repaired. FYI, I rarely ever had to replace the tire due to a puncture. Also, I didn’t find them to wear any quicker (I usually got 40k-55k miles on them) and I didn’t find them much more expensive than regular tires. Another advantage is the stiff sidewall kept the great handling feel around corners even if the ultimate grip wasn’t quite as good. It was very fun. However, they were much harsher over abrupt imperfections in the road (large potholes, metal covers, etc) and they were slightly louder than normal tires. Also, you had less options for replacements if you kept with a runflat. In the past I usually avoided Bridgestones and usually opted for Continentals and once for Pirellis but I know the current gen is better.

I have run flats: but they never last: due to portholes: the side walls are to thin:

Runflats are going to be replaced with airless tires in future
