The Primacy had a bit more of a traditional tread vs. the CC2, I'm guessing that accounted for the difference. Not sure how the CC2 would compare to the 20" run flats we have in these NXs....particularly as they start to wear. I also don't know how well the CC2 would have held up, only had them for about 10K miles before we traded the RAV in on the NX.

I felt the grip really improved with the CC2, I'd recommend the tire a lot, particularly with varied weather situations. We don't really get snow here, but dry and wet performance was much better than the relatively mediocre Primacy. I seem to remember they even handle a little snow decently based on the TireRack reviews. I did tend to push the RAV more than it was intended.

I love my run flat tires. No issues here. It corners well and the ride quality not bad. I wonder if they will last through my 36 months lease of 12k miles a year.

Do run flat tires last longer than 3 year or 36,000 miles typically ?

As with all tires it depends on how much fun you’re having — aggressive acceleration, cornering, and braking. If you’re light on the car it should get close. I don’t think it will do too much better since the 450h+ is very heavy and rides on 20” low profile tires. I had a BMW 3 series with 18” RFT and they used to last 24-36k miles (OEM Pirelli was close to 24k while Bridgestone Driveguard was close to 36k). I had the car for about 90k miles and I used to have fun with it. I was on my 4th set when I traded it.

I don't think they will last the 3 years or 36k. The electric motors push a lot more instant torque causing the tires to wear much faster than traditional vehicles. I drive a lot less than 12k miles per year. I'm currently at 16k miles after 2 years and 4 months of owning my NX. Last check was about 5.5mm/6mm tread left on my RFT.

I would put RF's on each of my vehicles and prefer them over non RF's ...rather take my chances with them than without. However there is no substitute for a spare. it should be standard equipment.
