Nokian Hakkapelitta R2 Run Flats

I'm trying to decide to go Nokian R2 regular tire or run flat tire. Anyone have experience with the Run flats vs regular R2s

I used the Nokian Hakkapelitta RunFlats (original version, not R2) for six winter seasons. They are amazing tires and ride quite nicely. I also had them on 18" wheels (and sized accordingly) so that there was more rubber than on 19" wheels.

Used both? No. But R2 non-runflat in 18" are my winter tires right now starting last winter. I think they paid for themselves in the 1-2 period around Christmas.

I have gone non-runflat for both winter and summer and have a Slime Smart Spair kit in the trunk (a much less expensive version of the BMW mobility kit).

I may get the spacesaver spare at some point, just hasn't been a priority.

I think they announced the R3 in January 2018, you might want to look for those too.
