Tire Advice
Hi.
I need some advice.
I have a 2004 Cooper S with 19.000 miles.
I got a nail in one of the run flats - and it cannot be repaired.
The rest of the tires have between 5 - 6 / 32 of tread left.
My choices are to replace the one tire (at roughly $325 - it's the Goodyear Runflat), or buy 4 new non-runflat and a can of Fix-A-Flat.
What would you guys do?
Also, any advice on tires? I live in Boston so am leaning toward all seasons.
Thanks.
Sean

Go to www.tirerack.com & buy 4 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 non-runflats. You didn't say what size tires you have. I had Pirelli 205/45/17 & went to Goodyear size 215/45/17. I got them for $393 delivered (the WR speed rated ones are on sale for $88 each)
Or that's what I just did
(but these are performance not all-season)

Yeah they are summer performance. They handle good. I just got them on yesterday. I have read that the all-season tires don't handle as well in the twisties
Don't wait around if you want them because they have been on sale for over a month & last week they said "sale price" but this week they say "closeout price" so they may be almost out. The YR rated ones are still over or around $135 each, it is the WR rated ones that are on sale (that rating is fine unless you plan on going over 168MPH
)
