Default BF Goodrich Run Flats

Anybody tried these tires on a Vette? I am a big fan of Goodrich tires over the years and have had great luck with them. Any comments? :flag

I have the BFG run flats on the rear of mine. They have great traction, far better than the EMTs. I have about 12k miles on them right now and they show very little wear. I still have the EMTs on the front, as soon as they wear out the BFGs are going on the front too.

BFG's are made by Michelin, if that means anything to ya. B.F. Goodrich stopped making tires several years back and licensed the brand name to Michelin, the way I understand it.

I am using the Goodrich KD SSS runflats. Compared to the factory EMTs, the KD runflats seem about the same for noise and ride, equal in light rain, not as good in heavy rain or standing water, MUCH better traction and handling on dry roads.
