Michelin Run Flats any good
Hi,
I had posted earlier about a problem I had with Michelin pilot A/S tires I just got with the steering wheel shaking. Long story short Michelin covers them and they are coming off. Now the question is should I get the Michelin run flats? Just a little more money but I am concerned the ride may be hard and more tire noise. Does anyone have these on their car? Happy with them?
Thank you,
Joe

I've had a set of the Pilot Sport 2 A/S ZP's(runflats) on the car for over two years now. Excellent tire if you want RF's. Night and day difference from Goodyear runflats in ride/handling quality and noise.
I've read comments on this forum that the 3rd generation of this tire is now available.

No complaints with mine. I got almost 60K miles out of them. The fronts are ready to be replaced. The rears have a little bit of life left in them. They do very well in the wet and dry. I'll be ordering another set soon.

Been running PS2 A/S ZP for years - terriffic tires
Replaced GY runflats several years ago on my Vert. Much quieter and better handling than OEM tires. Don't think you can get the ones I have but they are outstanding tires. Had them roadforce balanced.
Good as new with over 20K miles on them.

I replaced the OEM tire with them and they are definitely an upgrade.
