Goodyear F1 GS-D3 are generally regarded as the best non-radials. They are summer tires though. Noted for being great in the rain.

A good all-weather run flat is Michelin's. It is good in near freezing weather and light snow.

I had better than excellent results from the Michelins I put on my C4. When I bought my C5 the dealer installed new Goodyear EMT's.
Sorry I can't be of more help. Do a search though, I'm pretty sure this topic has been covered extensively, I seem to remember good comments about the Michelin non-run flat and run flats.

I just replaced front and rear tires on my 2000 coupe with new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZPs, and am very pleased with my decision, in large part based upon advice and comments from numerous fellow forum members. I wanted to stay with the security and piece of mind of a run flat, so that ruled out many popular non-run flat choices. I read the comments of others who made the same choice as me, but I was still surprised at how much quieter and smoother the Michelins ride. I can actually hear my exhaust when cruising down the interstate @ 65 mph now!

I agree, Goodyear GS-D3s are a great choice. However, if you ultimately decide to stick with runflats, I'd recommend the Firestone Firehawks.
