Default Michilen,Firestone or GY OE for C5?

I am looking to replace my OE GY runflats. I want to stay with runflat technology. Hear alot about Michelin & Firestone being a better ride & quieter. I do not want to give up any performance. GY advises they are designed for car & i should replace with OE. Any advice would help! Thanks! : :

I came across your thread when I was doing research to find my next tires. I have a 98 C5. I replace my Good Year run flats with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. They are not run flat and it makes a huge difference in the ride. I purchased a plug kit and an air pump just in case I had a flat. But when was the last time you had a flat? I'm learning about the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. They sound great, but the treadwear rating is 225 versus 400 for the A/S.

I know you want to stick with run flats, but if ride and noise is important to you, I would advise the non-run flats.
