Either of the two mentioned above are good choices. I've also heard some good reviews on the new Firestone Wide Ovals.

Good subject. Then what do you guys do, buy some sort of tire repair kit? The more I drive, the more I hate the run flats. Horrible road noise. Plus, there are stretches of the interstate I drive on every day where it gets so floaty I think something is wrong with my suspension. NOT the way a Vette shold track.

From: Los Angeles, CA.... I know a guy who has a Lambo with Corvette doors
I just ran my Sumitomo HTRZ IIs at an AutoX, & got 3rd in my class, but anyways, they handle xlnt. & they are good at all the other things too. They are very inexpensive to boot.
If you carry a plug kit & compressor, you have a very good chance of dealing with a possible flat .

went to these after I got tired of the BFGoodrich non-run flats..they were noisey. Very satisfied with the KUMHO tires because of all the reasons mentioned.

Priced well below Michelins, very quiet, 25 lbs lighter than runflats, great handling in dry AND wet weather, and as icing on the cake, made by an American company right here in the USA. What more can anyone ask?
