There's also Pilot Super Sport in a Run Flat version. On the tirerack site you can enter your vehicle to get tire sizes or enter a custom wheel size. I included a link to GS sizes.

Thanks for the link but it includes a lot of non-run flats. Tirerrack only lists 4 kinds of run flats that fit the GS: Bridgestone, Mich PS2, Eagle F1 EMT and Eagle F1 G... The only Michelin runflats I can find are PS2 and not PSS (I think PSS is better), thus I am still thinking Bridgestone RE050A's

When my OEM Good Years wore out on my 08 C6 I went with Michelin run flats. Gosh, I could not believe the difference. Less noise and much better ride and handling. I just love them.

The link showed Michelin PSS ZP tires from tirerack. You then type in your vehicle info by clicking the red rectangle labeled 'Choose Vehicle'. I have my vehicle info saved on tirerack so I chose my vehicle (2013 Grand Sport). You can also look them up by size. It had the PSS ZP tires available & non-ZP. Sorry the link didn't work for you.

I choose "runflats" on the side check box and it only gives me those 4 choices. I am sorry but I followed your directions and all I see in GS sizes is Mich NON runflat PSS. I have looked 10 times... Please post a link to 275/35ZR108 and 325/30ZR19 sizes in Michelin PSS run flat... they are NOT there sir

I guess they might not carry the PSS ZP in GS sizes. I apologize. I think that Michelin makes the PSS ZP in GS sizes because they list them on their website.

I know they make them too, that's why I am frustrated, I can't find them online or around Atlanta! From what I read the PSS is better than the PS2 and if I could get them I might spring for the difference above the Bridgestones but if my only choice is the PS2's I will try the Bridgestones.

(Discount Tire gave me quote on PS2's of about $2300 a set and the Bridgestone RE050A's at $1700.)
