A lot of members here use the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZP tires for runflats. Right now I have a set of Hankook Ventus V12 Evo non-runflats on my car and like them a lot - good ride, handling and very low road noise.

I put a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus NON run flats on my '04 TRC. I could not be happier. The tires we replaced were the factory GY Eagle run flats. Those tires were the worst.
It made so much difference in the ride, noise level and traction, it seems like a new car. My wife and I took a road trip in March from Florida to Louisville, stopping at the Museum and for a Plant tour. What a pleasure! We made the return trip of 920 miles home all in one day and were still comfortable at the end of the day.
I highly recommend the Pilot Sports. They are wonderful!

I ran the Sumitomo HTRZII tires for a couple years and for the price they are a great tire, I always run non-runflats, Bridgestone 760 are on the car now and I really like them.

I love mine. But they need to warm up to feel the best response, however, that is a very minor issue.
