hi, i'm dying to swap out my runflats and was wondering if you can run runflats and normal tires at the same time? i tried searching it, but couldn't find anything. i'm guessing that i'll swap them out as they are needed??
sorry if this is a stupid question??

you can do it; it wont' hurt anything. you will feel the difference though, due to the construction of the tire. however, it' s not as if the non rf tires will be like balloons, they are still low profile performance tires.

I work retail in a tire store and when you see a "buy 3 get one free" deal, its not as good as it seems, trust me. As for mixing runflats and non runflats, it would be ok and you probably will not notice the difference as long as the tires are of the same speed ratings. The speed rating has more to do with the handling of the tire than does the fact that it is a runflat or not. Run flats are stiffer in the sidewalls, but a low profile performance tire is plenty stiff as is. True high performance tires are capable of more than the any production car is anyway. I would not replace less than two tires at a time anyway, runflats or not.
