As per the title really, Do many people run on Non runflat tyres? If so what are the ones to go for?

For a 51 plate cooper 195x55x16

Only just got this little thing for my daily commute and its a hoot to drive !!!!!!!

Cheers for the responses guys, Managed to get the search to work in the end !

Do you all still run 195x55x16 as I couldnt work out if most people go wider with a lower profile ie 205x50x16 ?

My OH's Mini One has the 17" alloys off the convertable model with 205/45 tyres, she got quoted £100 + VAT for Pirelli non run flats and £50 + VAT for 'budget' (she didn't find out what this make was rolleyes ). One of the run flats keeps going down (but of course doesn't look flat so she keeps driving it without pumping it up banghead ) so it has started to look cracked on the edge. Do these prices seem reasonable as I'm out of touch having not paid for tyres for years due to a company car and my RS hasn't been anywhere for years to wear it's own tyres out...
They seem about right for garage prices but try online Ive used eventmobile quite a few times,they will come to home,work or track to replace tyres. Were very carefull with the alloys etc. Also try blackcircles and camskill all seem to get good reviews.
