Re: Run flat replacement (ndirishr1)
If you want to keep a set of "runflats" on the car I would try the Michelin Pilot sports zero pressure. I've heard a lot of good things about them on here. So much that I'm having them put on mine at the end of the month.

Need to replace the tires on my wife's C5. Any advice on alternates to the noisy Goodyears? Thanks, Greg

If you care about her, the noisy Goodyear runflats are best. They provide the longest zero pressure driving range (200 miles).
All the rest of the run flats limit the mileage driven with no air to 50 miles.
Sending your honey out with no spare and a non-runflat seems imprudent? If you do, make sure her life insurance is paid up! :cheers:

Firestone Firehawks. Keep the run-flat safety and convenience AND have a quiet, improved ride! They made a huge difference for us when we switched
tires on our 2K coupe.

Actually she'll have the run flats off my car as I'm buying chrome wheels and I'll take the polished aluluminum and tires off my 01 and put them on her 00. Hopefully the computer will read the pressure sensors when I swap both ways between the cars?
