What tyres have you got?
Interested to know what tyres people run.
I'll start - Vreds and won't be going back to runflats.

I got some cheapy non-RFTs on atm. (4 brand new ones came with the car) Will probably be changing to Avons when these wear out.

Re: What tyres have you got?
I went with forum favourite Falken. Excellent for road use and miles better than OEM runflats.
I have to say Vered's have a cool tread pattern though. Has anyone tried both on thier car?

F1 Asymmetric 2 here. Only just fitted. Fifty miles on them but I'm already wondering why I didn't ditch the crappy OEM runflats earlier.

Re: What tyres have you got?
I have about 600 miles on Continental DM non-run flat tires (from Tire Rack). It has transformed the car (a 2006 3.0si) into what I always knew it could be. After the original Bridgestones were worn, I went to RF Michelins. That was a significantly better tire. If that was one notch up in comfort and noise reduction, the new Continentals have to be two or three notches better. I built my own repair kit using Slime products: a bottle of their liquid and a compressor.

It's a really excellent tire and used by a number of individuals in our local club including myself.

Re: What tyres have you got?
Vreds fitted about 2500 miles ago, Much faster in the twisties but in some ways a bit less fun. Really got to provoke it to slide the rear out now!
Driving in the wet no longer feels like Russian roulette when I go round a corner which is a massive plus! I would never go back!

Re: What tyres have you got?
Got some Michelin Pilot Super Sport for my new rims. A little noisy but so far very good.

OEM's but I will switch to the Falkins when they wear down.
