Ok so I am looking at the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position -
if I get rid of the runflats. If I get runflats I am going with the OEM's but I havta convince Anthony they are not worth it. Tire Rack has the OEM's for $415.00 each for the rears.
So input please - yes we went thru this before. If I get the bridgestones I am going all around

But you gotta do what you gotta do. How was going into the office today?I'm actually trying to steer away from runflats. I love the fact I won't get stranded with a flat but the price of them is insane and the ride is too hard.

Hi nuky
I'd stay away from runcraps as well, though I do recommend the Michelins. They cost the most for a reason, because they are the absolute best tire out there.
Do what I did, buy a patch kit and a small compressor. You could probably order a Z06 compressor from a dealership, keep it in teh compartment in the hatch.

A lot of people recognized me from almost 7 years ago when I left and were happy to see me back. At least there is hope of a future here and I am getting paid more.
Well, the run flats let you get home this time, if you did not have it you would have been stuck. People say the Michelin run flats ride nice. However no current run flat will out perform a good non-run flat.

We were very happy that we had run flats when we picked up a screw on the turnpike ..............

Well things are still bad over there, I did get a new laptop to use, but no docking station, mouse, keyboard, etc. Just the laptop and one power cord, not even a case to use. Can’t order any office supplies. They got a new cleaning service contract and cut it, now they only dump the office garbage cans twice a week.

I saw Georges Z06 compressor in action, from GM Parts Direct it may not be much, but now that I think about it, I'll be headed to Contemporary Corvette on Saturday, so I may be able to get one out of a wreck, or I could ask Tommy to get one with his GM discount.
