: When you're ready to replace your tires (which will happen sooner if you decide to get hooked on autocrossing like we did...), you may want to consider run flats. We did, and not only did we get a better handling tire... it allowed us to pitch the spare (26 lbs.) and at some point we'll have all the related spare stuff (tire tray, tire lowering system, etc.) removed. Not only is weight the enemy of acceleration, but if one was a stereo nut (we're not... yet) this would free up room for amps, woofer, etc.

Can ya give some details about what run flats, who installed them etc?
