YamahaR6,

I just like replacing car components with OEM parts, if available. I feel that the manufacturer knows what will work the best, and what will not work the best with their vehicles.

They don't, they just get tires for cheap.
Swap them for like Michelin PSS's and you'll relove your car.
I don't know much about the S-04's but almost anything is better than stock

Kenchan,

In 2010, when I joined this site I bought a 2010 Nissan Versa as my daily driver vehicle. Then four (4) months later, I special ordered and bought a 2010 Nissan 370z Roadster Touring vehicle as my weekend vehicle.

In summary, I have never gotten around to update the vehicle that I drive specifically for this site, hence you see listed that I drive a Nissan Versa.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Terrible tires. like stated by people here already:
They are more expensive and heavier. And worst yet. if you get a flat and use the tire the tire will actually sacrifice itself in order to keep rolling.
So if you don't realize you got a flat in time and keep using it you are going to have to buy a new one!
This is unacceptable to me. I can see how some women might like the convenience of run flats. But it's otherwise a terrible value proposition, not to mention inferior in performance.
