What model Pirelli tires do you run? Would you please post a link?The Pirelli self-sealing I run are LRR but don't get flats like normal LRR's.

That's unfortunate. I like the idea of self-sealing tires vs. run flats due to better ride quality.They apparently have reduced the "seal-inside" selection list to only one size, a 17" wheel.
What type of tires did you end up getting?Another vote against run flats. Had them on my Sienna van. I ran over a nail at 500 miles and was told they CANNOT be repaired. The replacement was $325. The tires were loud and very rough riding, and lasted only 20,000 miles. The four new replacements are incredibly quieter and smoother. Also gained an additional mpg with the new tires.
I’m out traveling in my Tesla, and I don’t have the exact tire, but they are Michelins.What type of tires did you end up getting?
You can buy the Jack pucks for $25.Above is what I have. I made the jack pads for $25 using this video:
I replaced the old RFT with Bridgestone DriveGuard on my Toyota Sienna. The riding is smooth and I don't feel the difference with Non-RFT.RFTs have been around for a while, and from reading the reviews, Bridgestone DriveGuard RFTs are a new generation of RFTs.
So, I am looking for anyone who has direct experience w/ the DriveGuard RFTs.... Anyone?
run flats hurt range not directly because they are heavier but because there is much stiffer tire material to deform. The energy expense of deforming the tire is necessarily higher than a tire that doesn’t have to hold up the car with no air.Just keep in mind. Run flats are generally heavier tires and this will effect range. IIRC They are generally 2-5 lbs heavier than conventional tires. Just something to think about.
