New Tire Recommendation
I have an 02 coupe. I need new rubber all the way around. I am thinking of getting the Eagle F1 Asymmetric tires, but not sure. What are my run-flat options, Goodyear or otherwise?
Thanks for your input!

the Top-tier non-runflat tires: (All handle expeptionally well)
Michelin PS2: Most expensive
Goodyear GSD3: Wear better than most
BF Goodrich KD-2s: A bit louder than most
Cheap and decent for those who don't push their C5s very hard:
General UHP
Sumitomo HTR Z III
Kunho Ecsta XRP or ASX
in the middle...
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position or Potenza RE960AS Pole Position
Continental ContiSportContact 2
Dunlop SP Sport Maxx

If you want to stick with runflats:
Goodyear OEMs (Goodyear Eagle F1 GS EMT) - expensive, but widest, and give you 3 mpg more gas mileage. Only runflat that can go 200 miles without air (can go 50 miles and be repaired).
Michelin
(1) Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP -Their new summer runflat tire, comes on ZR1, probably best handling runflat
(2) Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP - make sure you get Plus, it is improved. Only current all season runflat.
Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP RFT -a runflat, some like it, it is a narrow tire
Kumho Ecsta MX XRP - makes a cheap runflat, wears out fast
----------------------------------------------------
The Eagle F1 Asymmetric tires are good non-runflat all season tires. Members who have them, like them. You should full out your profile, where do you live, do you need all-season tires?
