They are cheaper than most, and you can arrange fitting locally. Get rid of the run flats asap, they are horrible!!
Michelin PS2's are the tyre of choice it seems, although there are a few with Dunlops and Conti's
Personally I love the Goodyear GSD3's, but they have stopped making them now, so they are like rocking horse s**t to get old of.... not ideal if you ever need one quick!
Just had a look and they have a special offer on the Dunlop SP9000's. Not sure who has them on here though.

dont the cars handling characteristics alter with non run flats?
The car tends to tramline... every little groove in the road it tries to follow. It's kinda like trying to control a rabid dog on a leash
what about insurance claims if run flats arnt on?
Good question... some tyre places suggest it wouldnt be insured, but I highly doubt it, and I am 99.99% certain a) they would not check, and b) that nobody has yet to be caught out on that technicality.
most importantly ,what about a puncture?
I carry tyre-weld and a small compressor in the back

I am not sure about the UK, but here in the states, changing tires will NOT effect your insurance.
My father is a Independent Insurance agent and he says it won't matter. 99% of all mishaps are the fault of the driver, not the car....
