the run flat wont have as much grip as the non. thats why the base corvettes come with run flats but the Z06 and ZR1 dont. the run flat compound arent as good performance wise. your performance will suffer as some sidewall flex helps traction to catch you no flex means itll slip if the compound cant hold it.

hmmm....i'll only have these tires for one last season then im getting all new ones, so i wonder if its worth re-boxing and paying shipping to return them, then trying to find another good deal on one re050a. the tirerack guy i just talked to doesn't approve of it either. i wish they would have advertised the damn tire as a run-flat.
