What's everyone doing for replacement tires?
runflats or non-runflats? Why? (beyond just "a softer ride") Brand/tire preferences? Why?
I got 16k off my stock/OEM Goodyear Eagle runflats 205/45 R17 84V and they're down to the wearmarks. I was kinda disappointed with that mileage, but, I have been to the dragon 5 times this past year so... that might account for the mileage. But anyway, Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for and why?
I read on here that some people replace their tires with non-runflats for "a smoother ride" - but I don't really know what that means? I don't notice a rough ride now?
And what about treadwear? I prefer to get the most miles I can outa the the tires? Anyone with a treadlife warranty?
And if you prefer non runflats - have you ever had to deal w/ a flat tire? How did you handle it?
I don't have the cash or space for "summer tires" and "winter tires" so - I guess I need something I can use all year round. I read somebody was running Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons?
Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!!!

I like my Yokohama Parada-Spec 2s.. they're nice in the summer...
and Blizzaks in the winter.
My SO keeps his Kuhmos on year round (but doesnt drive his MINI in bad weather) and adores them on and off of the track.
I guess the replacement type depends on what you'll be doing with them- feel free to PM if you have questions!

I just replaced by Dunlop Runflats with Michelin non runflats, and the difference in ride quality is amazing. Think it corners better as well... If you need an A/S tire, go with Continentals as a prime and Goodyear as a secondary. I think the Conti's are all around good tires for the money in the A/S tread. Any way, non runflats are probably all I'll use on this (R56) in its lifetime.
Good luck on your decision

I'd like to replace my stock Goodyear runflats (195/55/16) on my '05 MCC with Michelin Hydroedge that have been great on my other cars. Michelin doesn't make the Hydroedge in that size but has a 205/55/16. It's only 1/2 inch taller and about 1/2 inch wider. I have a factory temp spare up underneath the boot. Anyone see a problem with making that switch?
