First good piece of advice do not go with run flats. Now the A/S means "all season" and ZP means "zero pressure" meaning its a run flat. Meaning one is an all season tire and the other is mostly used for summer.

Thank you :-)

I been told non runflats are "more fun" and will improve driving in al aspects.
However i dont feel like crawling under the car, my knowledge about fixing a tire are 0
and u have gotten 3 nails stuck in less then a year.
