I will be putting michelen all season plus runflats on my 09 coupe before next winters cold weather hits. My super car tires do not have any grip when the temp is under 50 degrees, of course they are summer tires.

Nitto Invo's....they're great....equal or better grip that the GY's....much quieter ride. As for being non-RF, I carry a plug kit & small 12v compressor that fits in one of the trunk cubbies.

What he said. Very nice tire, super quiet and you don't bounce around as much when you hit bumps.

Glad to hear that and what plug kit & compressor are you using? Also looks like you're running stock sizes up front, 245/40/18 correct?
