Hello,
I've been a member of this forum for a while, but usually I don't have much to post about since I can get all sorts of good information via the "search" feature. However, I've done a search, but cannot seem to find out anything about Run Flat tires.
They seem like a good thing on my wife's Mini Cooper as the Cooper doesn't have a spare tire. However, the front 2 tires wore out and the Mini dealer wanted $250 per tire. A local guy quoted $220 per tire so without any real savings, we had the tires replaced at the dealer - Yikes. Now the tires seem to need balancing and they are quoting $95 to balance them (I think this is the "each" price). What's up with this? Any comments/alternatives appreciated. Thanks.
Kurt
