I'm hoping you lot are honest enough not to gazump me here.........

There are some cheap tyres on ebay 245/40x18 - set of 4.

I want 2, so wondered if anyone wanted to team up for the other 2.

And let's not start a bidding war between us eh boys??!!

They're run-flat tyres though - require a pressure sensor to be fitted as well (to be safe).

Didn't know that!

How does it all work then?

They have stiffer sidewalls to maintain the profile of the tyre after a puncture - however because of this it is unlikely you would know you had a puncture until it became dangerous - hence the need for the pressure sensors. The stiffer sidewalls also tend to reduce the ride quality and transmit more road noise into the car.
