I just put on a new set of Stones - non-runflats & it made a huge difference out on the big road - But my tires were old and I'm sure hard - so the difference on mine would be different than someone running 2 or 3 year old tires - tom

I just switched to the Michelin PS2 ZPs. Night and day between them and the Goodyears. I'm pretty sure runflats are only available in stock sizes so if you want to go with bigger tires, your decision has been made for you.

That's great for you, but I'd rather not be sitting on the side of the road waiting hours for AAA to show up. I'll stick with my runflats.
