Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / July 20062001 C5 coupe & TIRES
The time has come to make a decision on replacement tires and while I like some of the features of OEM runflats, one of the negatives is "cost" and the noise level after they wear down a bit. I find Dunlop, Michelin and Kumho are making "runflats"...... anyone have some feedback on any of these brands??? as far as noise level and wear . What are the most common non-run flats?? PW i just got these http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Eagle+F1+GS- D3&partnum=445YR7F1GSD3&partnum=74YR8F1GSD3&vehicleSearch=true&index=6&place=6 just a reminder cars that came with run flats dont generally come with a spare, jack etc  SignatureRS 2006 FLSTNI 2002 1200C 1991 FLSTF Todd Flanders' hobbies include being quiet on long rides, clapping to songs and diabetes. > The time has come to make a decision on replacement tires and while I like > some of the features of OEM runflats, one of the negatives is "cost" and [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > PW If you're sticking with the run-flats, I recommend the Michelin Pilot. It costs less, isn't as noisy, and has a higher wear rating. It also has a wheel guard ring. All positives over the Goodyear. I ordered online from Discount Tire Direct with free shipping. Good luck. > The time has come to make a decision on replacement tires and while I like > some of the features of OEM runflats, one of the negatives is "cost" and [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > PW > If you're sticking with the run-flats, I recommend the Michelin Pilot.

Good luck. That's a better deal than tirerack.com then. I ordered my two fronts from tirerack and they were the same price except an extra $27 for shipping. I'll be ordering my rears from Discount Tire Direct. I too am very happy with the Michelin Pilot Sport. Make sure you get the "AS ZP" (all-season zero pressure) designation which is their runflat because they have non-runflats also. It took awhile to find a reasonable price for mounting the runflats though- most tire shops wanted $50 apiece. Rally Distributing in Tulsa mount and balanced my tires for $55 per set. They also stick the wheel weights on the inside so as not to scratch the wheels. Great service and a great price. >> If you're sticking with the run-flats, I recommend the Michelin Pilot. >> It costs less, isn't as noisy, and has a higher wear rating.

I bought the Michelin A/S Pilot ZP 2 weeks ago, man what a difference! Smooth and quiet not like the Goodyears.

The Kumho tires look like round fat balloons. Do your Michelin's look like the Goodyears? I am talking about the side-wall appearance.
