Need tire recommendation
Last night my tire low display came on . Spent a few hours trying to figure out what it was. Woke up to a flat tire. Had an emergency flight to get to so I took it to the dealer where they charged me 350$ for one new run flat entire :( totally got screwed.
Do you guys recommended going to regular tires and which ones would you recommend?

what size wheels and tires?
Will they see any snow?
Summer or all-season?
What's your fancy - performance, comfort, treadwear?
How comfortable are you with dealing with a flat with plug kit and pump or fix-a-flat
or possibly being stranded?
Need to know some of the above before recommending something specific.

17s and I have continentals don't remember the series
Yes I'm in chicago so I'll see at least 1 more month of tirs. But assuming that I get new tires , I'll use my run flats for the snow season.
So I'm thinking summer tires
Comfort . I find my ride very bumpy but that might just be my stock suspension.
I'm comfortable with being stranded or fixing on my own .

Assuming you have a garage and some storage space, get a second set of wheels and tires for the summer. That way you can swap between the two sets as necessary.
For safety and not getting stranded, consider the following 2 tools (I have one of each in all of my cars):

Where do you get CO2 cylinders for car tires? I'm an avid cyclist and carry small ones for flats when I'm on my bikes, but I've never heard of them for cars.
