ok if you have a puncture round town m8

as you can run for 50 miles at 30mph

not sure they would suit the zx (if they make those sizes)

as the compound of the sidewall is harder not sure we would need that lol

i think they'll do the right sizes but the speed ratings might not be right for the zeds.

 

Anyone seen Taxi as the Beemer in there uses them

I used them on a e46 bimmer a while back, the ride was harsh and didnt get much feel back through them.

 

TBH i wouldnt touch em.

run flats give a REALLY hard ride, so if your zed is slightly lowered / poly bushed etc to firm up the ride you will need a spinal board when you get out on run flats.!! you also need some sort of electrical warning fitted to let you know if the tyre has gone flat as it is difficult to tell on run flats. A friend of mine had them on his cooper s works, and to be honest he hated them from the off. When he swapped them for decent tyres was more impressed with handling and ride...

I believe they affect handling significantly, probably don't come in low profile to suit aftermarket alloys and they generate more road noise.
