Firestone SZ50 EP run flat opinions
Looking at all of my options. I am considering these tires as well as the Michelin ZP tires. I know the Michelins are good but I want something that looks good too. Anyone have any experience with these Firestones? noise? handling? wear?

I loved them. Much better than the stock goodyears. Better traction and handling, quieter than stock, and better treadwear. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for runflats.

I agree. I had them on my 97 they were great tires. Great traction in monsoon weather.

I've got almost 30K on the set on my 01. Great tires, but I'm trying the Michelins next.

I ran them on my '00 that i just sold. Great tires IMO. Very good handling, low road noise and very comfortable ride. I would highly recommend them.
