Also, can you put non run-flats on a car that came with them?
Presumably there are not NOW nails in them (you've pulled them and had the tire repaired).

I personally like the F3x with RFT's, especially non-sport package all-season tires like the Bridgestone Driveguard or even the original Pirelli P7, and see no reason to replace them with a go-flat.

If you decided to put go-flats on the car, nothing needs to change, although the tire pressure may need fiddling to get good wear and performance.
