I've hit potholes that resulted in having to replace tires as well as dented and cracked rims more times than I'd like to admit. I'm in New York and the roads here are horrendous. Yes, a little overkill but under my current living circumstances and my daily commute, it just works out better for me that way. I've been using Bridgestone driveguard runflats and purchased an extra to keep in my trunk. Atlantic Motorcar is a Michelin Tire dealer, because over the years we’ve found Michelin Tires give the smoothest ride, and offer the longest service life, of any tire on the market. Michelin ranks highest in three of the four segments: luxury (775) passenger car (729) and performance sport (751).I'm rolling in a 2014 650i xDrive Coupe. The flip side of the report referred above is equally interesting, while it roasted “Run Flat” tires, it confirmed something that we’ve been sharing with service customers for years – Michelin tires are superior, in fact #1 in customer satisfaction, as you can see the report results below. You can find less expensive alternatives on Amazon, but we find the Conti kit a bargain…esp on a rainy night. The kit allows you to easily reinflate the tire roadside and get home, or to a service facility. We also advise the customer to carry one of the Continental “Comfort Kits” in case you do have a flat with standard tires. Yes, this is a compromise, so you need to consider the downsides carefully. So when replacement is needed, we suggest the customer consider the use of a high quality non-run flat tire like Michelin. While run flat tires are now factory fitment on many late model German autos, we’ve found, as many of our customers, that they wear quickly, offer a harsh ride, and are much more costly than their standard brethren. So let’s talk about the Atlantic Motorcar Center approach to “Run Flat” tires for your Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Mini Cooper or Volvo. No not the big silver ones, the glassy corporate-looking ones.
