Thanks Alex! (plus a question for everyone)

I just ordered a set of Kumho Ecsta SPT's to replace my runflats. I got a call from Alex not 5 minutes later to make sure I knew that they weren't runflats, lol. What awesome customer service!!!!

From what I read here, everyone seems to be pretty happy with these tires. For me price was a big issue, and this seemed like the best deal. So since I'm replacing the runflats... does the pressure monitoring system only work with those, or with any tire?

Thanks!

Just got my winters on from Alex, he is great. Got another set for my Daughters Vibe and a winter spare for the Mini - so 9 tires got shipped, all mounted and balanced - awesome.

What a difference with the Blizzaks - good timing too, on the day they were put on we got 5 inches

That's usually the opposite for me (not that it snows here). Like if I wash my car, it WILL rain that day, but if I don't, it won't rain. lol
