Looking for run flat tire information

I need run flat tire information for the FAQ on wheels and tires. So far this is what I've found:

195/55VR-16 Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 EMT (S)
195/55HR-16 Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 EMT (Cooper)
195/55?R-16 Dunlop SP Sport 3000 DSST
205/45?R-17 Pirelli Eufori@ (?)

I need those of you with run flats to look at your tires and provide:
  • Speed rating on Dunlop SP Sport 3000 tires
  • Speed rating and actual name of Pirelli tires
  • Details on any other run flat tires being fitted
Sidewall Markings Reference

Thanks in advance for your help

Why is everyone ignoring this thread ?

I know of at least 6 members here who are running 16" & 17" rims and all with run-flat tyres.

What's the problem ?


tap tap tap....is there anybody in here ?



It has been VERY quiet lately...... odd

Sorry MINIAC..... maybe this will stir them up......or maybe everyones sending you pm's, in which case, please feel free to get rid of this post.

cheers

Miniac,
Don't know if you want this second-hand info, but I'm considering getting a snow tire package, of tires and wheels, for my 2002 S from Tire Rack (www.tirerack.com), with the 195/55HR16 Dunlop Winter Sport M3 RunFlat snows. The tires are $123 each, with the total for cast rims, with tires mounted and balanced, and shipping, coming to just over $800.

An ancient thread you've dug up here

There is now information on OEM tires and winter tires in the FAQs ...
