25,000 and no not one rotation. I dont need the rears they still have some rubber but one was patched and one has a nail in the sidewall. It never leaked air so what the hell. I also herd that its bad to mix runflats and non run flats. So i figure get all 4.

I'm on my third set of fronts and second set of rears (Runflat Dunlops) with 39K on the clock. Given my driving style, I really can't say that I'm disappointed though.

You guys are easy on yours!

I'm at 62k on the odo, and I'm driving my 4th or 5th set of tires! You know, these cars can TURN GOOD!

The runflats only benefit is that you can drive on them for a bit with no air. They are real heavy, they don't perform anywhere near the non runflats do, and they cost a whole lot more. For less than a compramise runflat, you can get the best tires that are made! Can anyone say "AAA" or "Fix-a-FLat"?
