Default Stock Goodyear EMT's

Where is the best place, price wise, to purchase 4 Goodyear EMT's in stock C5 sizes? I know of a shop that has the right equipment for mounting. I just need the tires.

Why would you want the EMT's again? Tire Rack usually has the best prices on tires.

Well, unlike most on the Forum I like the Goodyears. They have the widest tread also. The ride doesn't bother me and I have The Z-51 suspension as well so the ride is firm but I like it that way. I don't track the car so I can live with the idiosyncroncies of the run flats.

I'll check out Tire Rack. Thanks for the tip.

After reading all the positive feedback on the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZP's, I can't understand anyone buying the OEM GY run-flats.

I don't understand it either. The stock EMT's were terrible to say the least. When I had the Michlein Pilot Sports (non-run flats) installed even my wife said "What A Difference"! And you have to understand my wife, she knows nothing about cars and doesn't want to know anything about them so that statement was a suprise!
At least get a different brand of runflat like the Michlein's.

Unless you are set on new ones this will save you about 50%. I bought my last two sets this way and was well pleased.

I thoroughly agree, I have had great luck with Michelin's on a previous C4 and when I 'upgrade' from the goodyear EMT's I will definitely try the A/S ZP's....

Your money, your choice, personally I do not care for the Goodyear EMT's.

Maybe the OP takes long distance trips through remote areas and needs 4X the security (200 miles) that the Michelins can offer (only 50 miles) in the event that he gets into trouble. I also agree with the others sentiments that "it's his money and he says that he likes the GY runflats." It's a fine choice as far as I'm concerned.

The Goodyears look wider and seem to have a lower profile than the Michelins. Look better to me.

Besides, I really can't buy anything French.
