I do not have a spare, so i should consider them?


Unless you want to rely on your insurance or tripple A every time you get a flat.

I don't have a spare for my DD and they don't make a runflat in my size. It's a hassle. usually a 2-4 hour wait depending on where you get the flat at.

The conti-pro contacts were OEM on our cruze. They all had to be replaced before the tread was fully worn due to sidewall bubbling or blowouts. It was anything but spectacular. The only thing it beats the new Firestones in is road noise.

I'm curious if the discount tire folks told you why to stay away from the indy 500 or if they simply suggested you take their word for it? I found out a friend of mine is running them on his Forgestar F14 equipped CTSV and he likes them.

I think they pretty much said we know what we're doing take our word. I may check les schwab as well. See what they have.

Everyone and their mom is telling me to get the Pirelli's, pretty much deciding now if I want to spend the extra $70 and get the run flat version or not.

Think I'm going to get the Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS+

Thing is they're only on Tire Rack and to buy them and ship them to me and shit is $516

I just don't wanna get buttfucked taking them to discount and paying an absurd amount for mounting and balancing and shit

I wonder if Discount would be able to order them in, I think they can do that right?

Go to a third party shop that carries pirelli. My guy's warehouse goes through tire rack and discount. He quotes me the Internet price or less. Mount and balance should be $50 or so
