I just replaced the Goodyear runflats on my '97 a week ago with a set of Hankook Ventus 12's. I can not tell you how much of a difference it has made in the car. The RFs would track any imperfections in the road, were harsh riding and howled at any speed. I can now really enjoy driving this car, and frankly, I'll take my chances with a flat. I'd rather be stranded on the side of the road with a flat than to deal with the "howlers" every day.

I've had the Michelin All-Season ZP tires, the Firestone Firehawk ZP tires, the Firestone Wide Oval ZP tires and the original equipment Goodyears. I prefer the Firestone Wide Oval ZP tires - of course they are not made in C5 sizes, so I switched to C6 sized wheels. Actually, the Firestone Wide Oval ZP tires are about $400.00 a set less expensive than the C5 sized Firestone Firehawks! If you want to stay with the stock size wheels, I would recommend the Michelins.
I get the best wear with a rear tire pressure of 26 to 27lbs (cold) and the front tires inflated to 28lbs (cold).
