Tires Question???

I'm replacing my Goodyear runflats. Thinking of buying non-runflats and buying a repair kit & a compressor. What do you think of the BF Goodrich or the Bridgestone Potenza's?

What other tires do you recommend as far as performance and wear? I'm tired of spending $1300-$1400 every 20k miles.

Thanks

I am planning on using Firestone Firehawks SZ 50 EP RFT suppose to be a excellent tire, $1300.

Can't go wrong with the Goodyear GS-D3s, everyone I know that has them loves them. One of the highest rated tires you can get. I just wish they made them larger than 285

I have the Bridgestone Potenza's and am very happy with them. Much quieter that stock (any non run flat will be) better traction that stock. I think the next tire I would try would be the Goodyear GS-D3s, I hear some great stuff on them now.

I've heard the Goodyear GS-D3s are a very good tire. Looking to get these myself. You can also consider the Firestone Wide Oval or the Firestone Firehawk runflat if you want to go that route. I have a set of the Firehawks on the car now and they have been a very good tire.
