RUN from the runflats...Michelin PS2's are the best tire you can buy...but if you want to save and get a fantastic tire for 1/3 the cost...can't beat the Hancooks! READ THIS ARTICLE!!!http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...mparison_tests
Again, the PS2 IS the best performance tire you can buy...anyone can make a performance tire good in the dry conditions...easy to make a tire sticky...the real science comes in making one good for the dry AND the wet...

I've got Mich Pilots on mine. No complaints at all. Got em from Costco and glad I did. Picked up a nail and pressure dropped to 8 P.S.I. They patched and plugged it and was on my way. 3 months later I picked up a screw about an inch from the first repair. Couldn't repair it because of the prox to the first repair. Costco has a road hazard waranty and replaced the tire at no charge! If it wasnt a run flat, I would have been stuck twice! Because of the Costco plan, the replacement cost me nothing.

I have the same, mine are the PS2 ZP. Love them, noise has not been a issue for me. No problems in the wet either. Last year I ran around Talladega Superspedway with them at a very high rate of speed with no issues at all.

Goodyear ratings in toilet
Tire rates the Goodyear (buyers poll) 6.6 and the Michelins 8.8 so now what.
This is runflats only!
I just hit 20,000 miles on my orig Goodyears and they still feel fine but after 9 yrs they must be as hard as??????????
But didn't Goodyear come out with a brand new tire (run flat)??
Can l trust Costco or Sams with changing the tires? I think not.

I have goodyear emt and just purchased the Mich ps2 zp , a bit more expensive but a much softer tire. I agree with OP if you feel safe with run flats there is a reason they are made.

Just checked Tire Rack and a full set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP's is $1571 with Road Hazard warranty and shipped. That doesn't even include installation. Either you're joking or looked up the wrong tires. Personally, I'll be going with Discount Tires. Bought my last two sets of Pilot Sport A/S ZP's there. (Actually a set and a half...one set of fronts and two sets of rears I'll be replacing all four this time around)
