Default Another C5 Tire Question

Sorry for repetition. I would like to hear rom you guys regarding what you believe is the best all around run-flat tire for my 2004 C5. I have 120,000 miles on it (had it since day 1) and have replaced the original tires with three sets of Kuhmo Ecsta MX XRP tires. I have gotten about 33,000 miles on each of the first two sets of Kuhmo's, only have 11,000 on the third set. However I am looking into purchasing new tires in a while (this set of Kuhmo's seems to be a lot noisier than the first two sets) and am interested in your comments. By the way, I was very satisfied with the first two sets of Kuhmo's.

Thanks

Use the search feature and plug in all the major tire brand names . . it will take you to the hundreds of discussions about each of the brands, their relative merits, pricing, etc.

I'm not ducking your question - -it's important to know and people will chime in, but there is really so much information in these pages that you will get your answers much more quickly rather than wait for individual replies.

For my part, non-runflats= Nitto 555 . . .runflats- Michelin.

Good luck- and oh, there is no one right answer . . .

If I were going to put runflats back on my car, they would be Michelins.

ALL the C5 owners in my Vette club run Michelin if they use runflats.
