Only problem with the D3 is that it's a summer tire. Not to be driven in near freezing temps. I drive my car year round so these won't work for me.

For those of you who have gone away from the run flats have you noticed a handling change? Since tires are a key part of suspension I imagine that having a softer side wall would make your handling worse. I drive through the mountains all the time and could go for some unsprung weight reductiond but not at the risk of losing my handling.
