one run-flat tire on my z a problem??

Wow, I never knew this would turn into such a ordeal. Now it looks that not only is there a run flat version of the RE050a's, but there is also 2 different regular versions as well. One with a speed rating of "Y" and the other with a "W" speed rating. I guess the 370z's come with the "W" speed rating from the factory, which means I should make sure the used tire I buy is also a "W" speed rating? It sucks because the one I'm looking at for only $75 is the "Y" version.

Going higher speed rating is not a big deal. Going lower is the issue. Take the (Y) rated tire. you will be fine.

Ok cool. Will my Z have more swagger using one tire from a Aston Martin DB9 coupe?

And if anyone dares to question my Austin Martin badges on my 370z I'll be like, "Dude, did you not see my one rear tire came off a Austin Martin?!" "OPEN YOUR EYES!"
