OK I'm ready for all the replies. It's been almost 2 years since I asked any questions so here goes. I'm now in the market for new tires. I just wore out the second set, Kumho Ecsta MX's. I'm happy with the 24,000 miles I got out of them because I drive like an A-hole as my wife says. I noticed the wear rating is only 220 and there are numerous other mfg's with higher ratings ie. Pirelli P Zeroo nero m+s at a 400 rating, General Exclaim UHP with a 380, BFG G-Force TA KDW with a 300. Has anyone had any experience with any of these or am I wasting my time. I really don't want to put the run flats back on as they are noisy but the tire dealer is willing to give me them for the same price as the non-run flats. The problem is the non-run flat Kumho's are back ordered, even from the MFG so I may be waiting for some time before they are available. I'm not all that happy with the appearance of some of the other brands but if it means I can't drive my toy I may be willing to change to something new. Sorry this is so lengthy. Any help or advise is appreciated. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.
