I paid $1088 including shipping for a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZP's (run flats) and had a local shop mount & balance for $20/tire ($1168 out the door price). Compare that price with the total out the door price of the three brands you are considering. Did I mention I purchased runflat tires for $1186 out the door?

The PAX, instead of having stronger sidewalls, has a supportive ring inside made of polyurethane. Michelin said the ring allowed a more comfortable ride and better fuel economy because the sidewalls did not need to be so stiff, yet the vehicle was still safe and easy to drive when a tire went flat. But it is that design that makes the PAX more difficult to repair.

Anything but firehawks, there was a thread not to long ago that showed they have the thinnest contact patch based on their shape i.e. less grip. I am running Kuhmos now and love them, can't beat the price or performance IMHO. With that being said, I have only had GY, FH, and Kuhmos.
