Choice of new runflat tires

[tinsleyphone]

I saw the long thread and polls talking about tires people run. I personally have no interest in giving up runflats. So that being said, I did the whole tirerack.com thing and the choices for the stock 17" rims are:


Goodyear Eagle RS-A
Dunlop SP Sport 9000 DSST

Which of these would you guys pick? Or do you know of other runflat tires that tirerack doesn't carry that might be good to look at.

My only real requirements out of a tire are grip, and performance when wet. It doesn't get very icy where I live so winter driving isn't really an issue. And I have a beater I can drive if it gets bad

The Pirelli Eufori@'s are also standard MINI runflats and are sold by tirerack.

Keep in mind that the Pirelli Euphor@s and the
Dunlop SP Sport 9000 DSSTs are performance
tires and weigh 22# and 21.8# respectively, while
the Goodyear Eagle RS-As are all-seasons and
weigh 30.4# each. When people complain about
run-flats being so heavy, they're talking about tires
like the RS-As.

Another one, size isn't quite perfect but I know people run them is also from Tirerack, the Bridgestone RE050. Available in 225/45R17 and some other 16", 17" and 18" sizes. Fast wear with only a 140 rating and not supposed to be great in wet but another choice anyways while you're shopping.

Too bad Goodyear doesn't carry more Eagle EMTs over here. There is a GS-D3 EMT available in the UK and Europe but not here. Supposed to be very good.
