Also a much smoother ride and no tramlining to speak of when compared with my old Pirelli runflats.

That's good to hear, I've had past experience with the GSD3s on another car and found them very good. I wonder how the Proxes compare though as they seem to be cheaper but have a very similar tread pattern.

I'm still a little concerned that the increase in tyre width with the 215s might introduce some tramlining so it's good to hear that it's fine.

Any more comments? I'm suprised there haven't been more to be honest. Everyone has tires after all!
