Newbie tire question

Hi Gang Bought my 1st MC in 11/07 and had my first run-flat run-in with a nail. Big O said not possible to fix and anyway, tires on car were different sizes, so ended up with 4 new run-flats @ $209 each. ouch!! Thoughts on run-flats vs. non? Next time I might go with non's and carry a patch kit/spray of some kind. yes/no? Helen (02 Sig/B MC)

I would def go without runflats next time... I believe the non-runflats are lighter and provide maybe provide a little more cushy ride. but it's a personal choice
