Does N E body know what / if there is a run flat for the MO?
Im expecting our first baby soon, and needing tires I would feel a lot better when my wife is driving.
Any suggestions? |

There aren't a lot of tire options for the stock size, and none of them that I saw were run-flats. Perhaps you could switch to a different size and find some?
I would just recommend making sure the spare is in good shape and she knows how to change it (or have AAA). Not difficult on the MO. |

Bambus-
Is your MO FWD or AWD??
Run-flats are not an option on most AWD systems. When a run-flat is "deflated" the rolling diamter is less than that of a fully inflated tire. This decrease in rolling diameter can cause the AWD systems to engage which can cause failures in some systems if the engagement occurs on a dry surface.
Subscribe to AAA. Carry a cell phone or install a car-phone.

Wow, do they still have permanent-installation car phones these days?
Doesn't seem long ago that a car-phone was the ultimate status symbol. Now people would complain bitterly that they couldn't keep talking after they left the car... :) |

Actually, car phones are sometimes better than hand-held phones because they are more powerful. A car phone broadcasts at up to 3 watts, while a hand-held model is limited to 0.6 watts.
