Default Tire Question

Lately my mind seems to be going! One of my freinds asked me last night for my opinion about what runflats he should get and l had the answer on the tip of my tongue but

I would search this but this topic seems to go on and on.

Goodyear seems to have stopped making the orig tires and Michelin seems to have taken Goodyears place.

But the problem is what specific tire is the best for dry conditions only?

And he has only 17,000 miles on his orig tires and he is not a hot rodder.

If it was clear outside l would run over to his house on Saturday but it's snowing here in NJ and seems that the snow is going to be here until Spring

Thanks

I've had great luck with Michelin PS2's -

Wear is much better than Goodyear

I put Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP (that's a mouthful ) on my wifes '03 AE.

A/S is all season, ZP is zero pressure. They are a little unusual looking and the edges are rounded so they don't look as wide as the Goodyears. But, they are great tires for her peace of mind. No worries about flats and they work good in wet or dry.
