Default Goodbye Run Flats - Hello Free Towing

Replaced run flats yesterday with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's. In addition to the improvement in ride quality, I received a nice surprise as well. Michelin now provides flat tire changing assistance for 3 years on all (?) new tires free of charge. From the brochure that came with my tires:

"Flat Tire Assistance is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in the US and Canada for 3 years after you purchase your Michelin replacement tires.

In the event of a flat tire simply call 1-800.... and a qualified service professional will replace your flat tire with your inflated spare. If an inflated spare is not available, towing will be provided at no cost (up to 150 miles) to the nearest approved Michelin tire retailer of your choice."

I wrestled with the run flat/regular tire, spare/no spare question and this would have helped make the decision. That being said, I'm still getting a spare tire that I'll carry for longer trips!

Good choice! Many carry the Conti Comfort Kit for times that the spare is not in the trunk.
