Whats the major difference in using a run-flat other than a standard tire ( sans the obvious flat), is braking affected differently with either of these?

Default My opinion

No difference until you have a flat.

One qualifier is if you mount your own tires. The runflats will make you break a sweat.

Definitely better braking in all conditions and greatly improved traction on wet surfaces, I have been running car tires of a number of years and the safety factor alone is well worth it to me.
