plse enlighten why? bad experience? can share?

[thaiedwin]

Run flat, wear out faster, i do not know why as well.

It make ur car feel more jumpy .....

[vwscoob]

Run flat tyres are generally heavier and of stiffer side walls, hard as rock hence jumpy. Some brands manufacturer makes "special" suspensions to couple w run flat rubber to give a more comfort drive. Price of run flat mostly cost more compared to conventional or even performance tyres. Great impact on FC!

Disadvantages outweigh benefits of non-flat. In Singapore context, just simply fit up a TPMS to monitor pressure, get remedy before it goes totally flat. Kiasu? standby wormie patch from autobacs/Stamford tyres shall simply do the job.

Does w246 comes with TPMS? It has tyre pressure indication though. Can bros advise?

[thaiedwin]

TPMS do not come with any car as off now. W246 and most other conti cars YOM 2012 and later has a run flat indicator which detect if one tyre is leaking air faster than the rest and require topping up of air.

 

It does not detect if all 4 tyre are leaking at a constant rate.

 

TPMS u could get it at most petrol station or tyre shop or even car hardware shop, just tell them tyre pressure monitor.
