Run flat tires

Hi All, I am thinking to purchase these wheels: http://www.ipdusa.com/products/5125/77- ... per-silver

Also, I would like to use run flat tires, so my question is if someone knows which number of tire should I use?.

Thanks.

Are you aware that run flat tires are not supposed to be repaired when they are damaged? If you get a puncture the tire store will want to sell you a new one.
Tire industry council recommends it this way. How long it was run low and how far and fast it was driven can't be determined and to repair one would place liability on the tire repairing dealer.
Love the wheels.
I hope JRL sees this. There is a tire he recommends by Continental that is reasonably priced and performs and lasts well.

I agree, screw the runflats. Discount tire offers the replacement certs and that is the best deal you can find around. Just bring in the damaged tire, and if they can't fix it, you get a new one. Usually costs like $12-$15 a tire, so it is a great deal.
