Default 02 C5 Rear Tires

Looking at replacing rear tires on my 02 C5 It presently has the Michelin Run Flats 275/40 ZR18 99Y tires. Possibly looking at replacing them with a tire that is not Run Flat. Any Ideas???

Of Course - - Nitto 555s and others - - do a search by tire brand or "run flat" . .

I don't suggest mixing run flats and non-runflats although people say they do it without issue.

Look also at the Hankook Ventus EVO tires. I have them on my car and am very happy with them.

If price is a concern, look at the Sumitomo's

First off I wouldn't mix run flats and non run flats, With that said if price is a concern look at the Sumitomo HTRZ II, Great tire for the price.
