Seeking one Dunlop 205/45 R17 84V run-flat

Please let me know if you have an extra one laying around and how much you want for it, thanks.

Also, it seems like most of the tire services on Oahu do not handle run-flat tires. Only two Goodyear locations and the BMW service department are among the few I know of that do. Do you know of any others?

Lex and Firestone said they don't have the proper tools to mount.

www.tirerack.com might have a listing of some shops in hawaii that are equipped to work with runflats. select few do.

those runflats are very expensive, i believe you're looking at $300 new...most of us in hawaii have replaced them with normal street tires, which usually provide greater performance along with a less rough ride at a much cheaper price. i figure since we live on an island, especially on oahu, the nearest service station can't be all that far away; as a result, we can easily get a tow to one, if not to the dealer. plus we all have our warranty which includes mini towing in the early years of ownership. so getting a flat is not as much a big deal as it would be on the mainland.

if you can't find one, tirerack is probably your best bet, although it'd hafta be a new one.

good luck

Thanks, I didn't realize TireRack had a service listing as well. I'll probably go with Hawaiian Tire & Auto Center in Aiea.

just read the print under each shop, as not every one on the list works with runflats....in fact, if i remember correctly, last time i looked only goodyear did.

I made sure of that. I'll double check when I call Hawaiian Tire & Auto Center and will post back here if they don't service run-flats.
