Hey, sounds good to me! I do, in fact, like the third-gen Bridgestone run flats a lot. They've softened the sidewalls significantly, to get better ride and less tramlining, and they use a special sidewall "fan" that is designed to help cool the sidewalls when running flat. I would guess that these tires are not as robust as earlier ones when flat, but they should be more than good enough. And you're very welcome to give mine a try whenever we figure out the halfway point! Rick |

Seriously? I'm astonished! Do the sidewalls look like this, with the vertical "fans" around the edge? I'm wondering if you might have an earlier, second-generation version of these tires. My older Bridgestones had exactly the problems you described, and they all went away when I put on the third-gen run flats. So I'm puzzled. It might be worth checking your alignment. Problems with either front or rear toe settings can cause similar instability problems. Good luck, and let us know how things work out. Rick F. |

I went with the DWS as my GF has them on her Acura TL and they ride great and are nice and quiet on hers. They seem to have tamed 90% of what I was feeling. Now for a alignment and we will see where we get from there. Thanks for the advice!

Nope - you are right....

Mine did not have the fans on them so they must have been an earlier version. Not too worried about flats though. I have has my 300 for 12 years now and never had a flat on it. I am sure I will survive! Thanks for the pic. |
