Replacement Tyres

Looking to replace front two tyres. Currently on Pirelli euros 205/45/17 RF on a S lite alloy.

I would like to stick to RF as my wife uses the car a lot and it gives her peace of mind.

What are the best all round runflat, i have seen Dunlop Sp9000 for £106.25 fitted which sounds good plus they get good write ups.

All advice gratefully received

Many Thanks

Where did you see the Dunlop Sp9000 for £106.25 fitted???? That's a hell of a lot cheaper than anywhere else! Are you sure its the DSST Runflat version for that price as theres also a normal SP9000

Found them on Value tyres.co.uk they are described as Dunlop SP9000 RF 88W. I take it by your reaction that these are not the ones required.

RF does not = Runflat

That price is too much for that tyre. You can get the same from blackcircles for £96.69.

just spotted these on value tyres:

GOODYEAR RSA* ROF 84V 205/45 R17 V £126.16

might be worth a try. ROF = Run On Flat

Don't know thats the 1st time i've seen them listed! To be honest the info on that site is poor. They've got an address for my local fitting centre totally wrong with spelling mistakes, wrong town etc!

I'd wait for the bridgestones if you can but i'm in the same situation as you i need 2 new tyres asap.
