Very true. And someone from the Corvette crowd also added that with the introduction of run-flats, "regular" tires just aren't are as sought after lately by Corvette owners, even if they're from the bigger name manufacturers like these (Goodyear). Not surprising though given the cost of newer, larger diameter rims these days. Run-flats are like an additional insurance policy against damage.
