I've read numerous posts that the ride quality is better with go flats; I'm not as concerned about that, just would like to stop taking my car to the shop.
Also will 18 inch rim / spare tire kit fit over the blue Msport brakes.
thanks
first time posting.

Welcome! I'll try not to hijack the OP's thread, but....
You've replaced 5 tires in 10 months because of sidewall bubbles or blowouts? Yikes. How terrible are your roads there? I could understand 1 or 2, maybe even 3 if you just had terrible luck with pot holes and blow outs, etc, but 5 in 10 months?!
It sounds like less of a tire issue and more of a road issue or driving pattern that is beating up your tires, IMO. I'd be wary that switching to a non run flat tire would stop your sidewall bubbles and blow outs the way you described.
Have you checked to make sure they're properly inflated? Do you try to avoid pot holes if you can or do you run right over them? |
Tires are properly inflated.
Roads in Indianapolis have significantly deteriorated over the past two years.
If I see a pothole I dodge it. But you can't see all the potholes, and sometimes traffic prevents you from dodging a pothole. The last bubble I got I don't even recall hitting anything.
