Default Anybody else have non-runflats??

Am I the only person on this forum that has the non-runflat tires??

I need some feedback from others .....

Are the Dunlops the only non-runflat that is coming one the SC??
Does anyone know if this tire is the non-RF on the 2003?

Has anyone else had sidewall bubbles from slight impacts??
Has anyone replaced these tires with anything else??

Is the Dunlop SP2030 really unique to this car or is there a different Dunlop model that is really the same tire??

Any feedback is appreciated . . . or maybe I am the only one with the non RFs!

Default one of the few

I think you;ll find most of us have the run flats... when did you buy your SC? What is the build date? It seems only the very early SC430s had non-runflats

Default NON RUN FLATS

You are not alone! I got my white/saddle with gold trim in April 2001 and it does not have the run flats. I think we are few and far between as I believe Lexus only equipped some of the early production cars with the non run flats and spare option. I have about 8000 miles on the car and the tires look great. I would guestimate that I should easily be able to get another ten to twelve thousand miles on them. Having driven another SC with the run flats I can state that the ride with the non run flats is, in my opinion, a lot better. I was led to believe that the tires would last no more than 8-10m miles so I am pleased at their performance so far.
