I HAVE A 2002 CONVERTABLE I NEED NEW TIRES. IS THERE A QUIET AND SOFT RIDING RUN FLAT TIRE? OR SHOULD I BUY A REGULAR TIRE AND CARRY FIX A FLAT.

I just bought ZO6 size rims and will be selling my stock size General Exclaims tires. I just bought them last year and they have 5000 miles on them. They are like new.They are not run flats though. I just carry a flat kit.
Let me know if you are interested I am in MI

If you still want runflats, but with a softer and quieter ride, Michelin A/S ZP (zero pressure) tires are the way to go. I now have them on mine and they are a great improvement over the Goodyears.
