The tires have different constructions and different compounds. Days/weeks were spent at the Nurburghring to get the balance right, even at extreme handling limits, let alone low speed or highway speeds. I dont think is forum has an appreciation for the engineering, technology, time, etc. that goes into developing a good all-round chasis/tire combination........which all goes into the OE components (tires included). You assume the risks involved or trade-offs associated with changing tires and types.
And please keep the runcrap comments to yourself Burtonbl103, I can assure you its not the RUNFLATS problems, actually they are Extended Mobility Tires, get it right!

Get flamed for putting non goodyear brands com on .. No one that is NORMAL is going to do that. Anyways have you check the tire pressure on it. I had one experience where the tires were over inflated and it did just that.
