(Did not find the info I wanted with the search function.)

I need new runflats - no, I'm not considering the non-RF option, so don't bother trying to convince me.

I'm down to three options from TireRack.

If you have other suggestions not listed in the poll, please let me know.

-THANKS!

I dont know much about cars. But, i did have perelli (sp?) rf put on my mini. I have had no problems. Also, nothing to compare them too.
Not sure if this helped at all.

No personal experience with the Kumho runflats, but have heard good things about their non-runflat versions of the ECSTA series, which is what I'll be going to on my next set of tires.

The Dunlop runflats are up to high $200, and low $300 price range... insane... so I'm just glad to see there are sub $200 options out there finally.

Never been a fan of Continental.. two sets I had that came on other vehicles were junk...

So I'd say give the Kumhos a shot...

The dunlaps I have on the GP have 22k on them, and still have good tread left... I have been happy with them.

If you get desperate before you buy the new RF, I have some used ones that still have some tread on them.

The prices posted above are TireRack
With shipping and installation, if I went with the Kumhos the total would be $850+ (possibly more if sales tax is added)

I just checked DiscountTire. The price per tire is 174.00 each, but the total out the door(everything) is $830.

So, it appears DiscountTire is the victor here.... unless someone has something else to add.

I only said 'no haters' because they'll lynch you on the NAM boards if you like runflats.

I've got a brand new set that came on our clubman, took them off as soon as I got home from the dealer. 72 miles on them. We could make you a deal, however they are still on the factory wheels, discount will charge to have them dismounted. They are dunlop sp sport 01 205/45R17.

You can get the Pirelli's at MNS installed for $705 - I wish I had done that but I chose the non run flats this time.

Every forum and tire site I've visited gives the Pirelli's horrible reviews.

Well then I don't feel so bad about not getting them! Thanks!

Thanks
