All Season

The All Season tires are an option.
Are the All Season run flat tires?

Heard the new roof rack options will not only be
bike and surfboard options, but an option for a ......
spare wheel and jack......Chuckle here!!

Yes, the all-season tires are run-flats. At least mine are.

I ordered the all-seasons as well (Colorado). But once I wear through them, I will replace with non-runflats.

Steve, is that because non-runflats are softer riding?

I'm hoping it is livable for me. The one test drive I had in my MINI was okay as far as tire noise. Not that I was listening for it. LOL.

I plan to switch to Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires if they are available in the correct size. I recently owned a GT-R and found the difference in ride quality between the Comfort and R-mode suspension settings was magnified with the Michelin tires. And it doesn't hurt that these high performance tires last 20-30k miles!

Does anyone have a similar experience with these tires, with any other car that has an adjustable suspension stiffness?
