What do I do with my new run flats?

Hello,

Been lurking for a couple weeks now and very happy to be here. I picked up a 2010 S convertible two weeks ago and I’m having a blast with it. The dealership put new run flats on a day before I got it. I’m not super happy with the rough ride so I’ll be getting some new tires this Saturday.
I’m wondering, is there much of a market for run flats? I looked them up and they aren't cheap.

Occasionally I see run flats for sale, try selling locally. It will off set the price of your new set.

Someone will always want them. They fit many other cars also. U just have to price them to sell. I sold my new set for 300 in a few days. Craig's list.

I've sold two sets and others in my local club have sold them as well. There are a lot of people who like to run them for peace of mind. If you belong to a regional club, chances are that there is someone local who will be happy to buy them.
