so many options based on lots of things....
I have Nitto Nt05's on my widebody and love them...
you need to look at do you want runflats or not, how you drive, where you drive, do you want summer or all season, etc....kinda hard to tell someone.
I love my nittos, I also have had Pilot sports and loved them too,

I agree, but there are some popular non-runflats out there too.

NOTE - Many tire dealers in the NE are now refusing to install non-runflats onto cars can come with them from the factory for liability reasons.

I'm a RF DD tire guy on my vette, but understand the reasoning for the non-RF usage too.
