Default Got some new shoes for my toy!

Got my new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 run flats put on this morning. Doesn't seem to be much road noise compared to the non run flats. Gonna see how they do.

Congrats. There’s nothing like the smell of new tires in the garage in the morning!

I had the same tires put on ~3 weeks ago -- you'll be very happy with them!

I put the same tire on my GS this spring. Only have about 600 miles on them but so far I really like them.

Put 500 miles on them today and I believe that I'm going to like them. Not as quiet as the non run flats but, a hell of an improvement over the Goodyear runcraps.

I have had them on for about 4k miles. They have a lot more grip in the summer then I thought they would. In the winter they are 10x better than a summer tire, and that is dry winter driving. However a gas station owner was surprised to see me get back on his street from his snow covered parking area with an incline to the road.

Have put about 2000 miles on mine 2009 z06 so far so good much more traction in both summer and winter.
I was kind of disappointed with the noise, had Bridgestone run flats before they seem a little noisier probably just me, overall I am happy and price was good .
