Run flats on my car or not?

Post by Deddi » Sun Jan 15, 2017 9:12 pm

Probably really obvious to some people, but how can I be certain if my Michelin Pilot (PS2) tyres are run flats or not? Any marking/code I should look for? The car rides pretty badly, so they probably are! But I am looking to buy a set of new non run flats so want to be sure! Thanks for any help.

Michelin Runflats come marked with the letters ZP for Zero Pressure.

May also have RSC stamped on the side wall!
