Wider Rear Tires
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, i was aware; cannot rotate RWD tires due to staggered 19" rims. The optional spare is being designed to work on both front & back. AAA is trying to get the industry to abandon the current trend of eliminating spares. I've been reading about lots of consumers generally unhappy with run flats (not Q60 specifically)....lots only getting 20,000 miles, run flats cost 30% to 50% more & conventional tires ride better & better traction (particularly in cold weather). Tire Rack even said run flats get 1%-2% reduced fuel efficiency due to weight (I doubt it's that much). Buyers must realize that the RS400 isn't a practical car; I generally only drive maybe 9,000 miles a yr. I've been driving conservative for years, driving Acura Legend coupe & TL for many years & decided to have fun with it this time. My current "excellent" 2005 TL has 87,000 miles. Historically, I've done routine mtce (brake pads, transmission, cooling system & oil changes). Not sure how much I'll be able to do with RS400. Trying to get an answer now to see if jack pads will be required for RS400. If so, I'll buy a set.....never know when dealer repair may not be an option.
