I recently purchased a new MCS with 17" wheels. This is fitted with Dunlop Sport 7 Run-flats. I presume the digit 7 represents 2007 so Dunlop must have changed the specification.

My previous car was a Honda Civic Type-R which had Bridgstone Potenza's. These caused a lot of noise, tramlining and lack of grip in the wet. I replaced the front tyres with Michelin Pilot Exalto's and they were infinitely better.

My new MCS with the Dunlop Sport 7 tyres handles as well or better, than the Type-R with the Michelin tyres.

So I endorse MSH441 thread above......why not got these.
