If I ever go back to runflats, they will be the Michelins.

what do yo0u do with your car? Do you autocross it? run track days or drags? Is it just a good weather/ weekend warrior It helps to know how you drive b4 answering a question like that. Me personally I autocross my car and as soon as these tires wear out I will NOT buy more runflats cause they just don't grip well enough on the track

I put a set of Kumho's on my wife's car right after we bought the car. 16,000 miles later I have no complaints. I'm thinking I'll get 50,000 out of these tires.

When I got this car (2002) a few years ago it had Kumho runflats. When I bought new tires, I replaced them with Michelin runflats. After all is said and done, I think the Kumho's are the best bang for your buck, at least between these two brands. The Kumho's are cheaper, QUIETER, and grip the road just as well as the Michelins. As far as the wear factor, I really don't know. I don't know how long the Kumho's were on there. The Michelins have about 15k miles, but are looking good. No complaints there, but I just read the other post about complaints of the center of the tread wearing down fast. Mine haven't so far, but my vote goes to the Kumho's.
