Your poll would make more sense if you also asked WHY you run such & such brand! OR, list your tires of choice and then tells us:
How many miles do you get from them [or expect to get]?
How much noise?
How well do they hook up?
Are they good in the rain, dry weather?
How costly [if replacement tires].
And lastly, are you fearful of running something not OEM, meaning: "my God, what if I get a flat on my non-run flat tires"...!!
Just listing a tire brand does not say much except for popularity, and lets face it, the majority of folks will replace tires with the same thing the car came with, regardless if they are better performers or not, or last longer, etc!

I own an '05, w/75k miles on it, and it's a DD.
I have Michelin PS2 ZP's all around.
The rears have 31,000 miles on them, purchased in Oct. '08. No complaints here!
(Fronts were replaced last summer.)
I'll go with another set, but am checking out the Michelin Super Sport ZP's as an option.

I will be in need of a set soon. I really like the sound of paying $800 for something like the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 and owners of these (non-run flats) say the sound and ride is better verses $1500 or more for run flats. I rarley go out of town. I guess one could keep some fix a flat handy. Does fix a flat ruin the sensor? And I guess if it does used ones are less than $50 so in the case I stated above I would think non run flats would be fine. Is there anything else I'm not thinking about?

I'm thinking that 75% of the people that voted for the Goodyear are owners that are still on their 1st set of tires 
Maybe a better poll would be to ask:
Did you replace the original OEM tires with the same or the following brands:

Like a lot of others: Hankook non-runflats. All 4 have been on about two years. No sign of wear, are quiet and hook up reasonably well, certainly better than Goodyear's. And, I would buy them again, in a heartbeat. Can't beat $800 all in and out the door!
