Missed it the first time I wasn't even a member then and that's something I definately would have never searched for.

Micheline has a series of runflats too that seem to want to reinvent the way we drive, IE "Spareless".
On our Odyssey forum the PAX runflat system is very divisive. Signatures like "I Love PAX" and I "Pax Sux" seem to rule the day. Trouble with Pax is you get locked into a proprietary system of rims so nothing else fits AND not enough dealers handle PAX AND they can cost upwards of $300.00 US each.
People are spending a couple thousand switching out rims, air pressure sensors and tires to get back to regular tires when the time comes up for them to buy a set.

Innovation can be good, but often comes with with some interesting consequences.

yeah , its a lil old, they just don't look as sexified as a set of low profiles, plus they won't catch on coz there is nowhere to put the manufacturers logo :)
also imagine the ride when they pack up with snow or are frozen to the ground in winter...
