Default Run Flat Poll!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me preface....

This is NOT a run flat vs. non run flat debate!!!

If run flats are not your bag, I am happy if you are happy. Plenty of valid reasons why C5/C6 owners ditch run flat tires. I get where you are coming from, so there is no need to do this....

Now that we have that out of the way....

I am trying to get some feedback on various brands of run flats including the OEMs (from those that truly like and prefer to run OEMs).

I know CF members really like the Michelin A/S ZPs (which I have) but I know that run flat technology has evolved since the C5 came out with run flats in '97.

For that reason, I included just three categories:

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS EMT
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZP
Other Run Flat tire (regardless of brand)

Please provide +/- feedback for tires in the "other" category along with the name of the tire in your post.

Peace

I just realized when I posted this poll that I failed to set the number days to keep it open to zero. As a result, the poll closed as soon as I posted the thread. I started a new thread with a working poll. Moderators, could you please delete this thread. Thanks.
