Re: tire question (mikeerb98)
That is a real bad idea. Your dealer is giving you sound advice. Run flat tires have extremely stiff sidewalls. Standard passenger car tires allow a lot more sidewall flex to produce a smoother ride. Mixing these two types will cause your car to become extremely unstable at practically any speed and especially in turns. You would be courting disaster!

Re: tire question (mikeerb98)
Chances your front tires are cupped on the inner edges and may need replacement soon. Definitely buy a matching set of 4 tires but I personally would never buy the Goodyear brand with so many better brands out there.
I went with the new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZPs for the best all around performance.
This tire is also available without the Zero Pressure feature.
