Yes - I get your point. However it keeps tire pressures stable across the various seasons we have here in the Northeast.

I was again in a catastophic tire event and its good I was able to drive back home with some pressure left on the rear tire but a runflat will help atleast relieve some anxiety about driving without a spare on long trips.

Anybody had experience with these tires.
I just settled on Cup 2's...she'll be reshod in October when my HRE wheels arrive.
