    Will's Primacy is the one I've seen on quite a few. Obvious to me to get the Runflat....what's not to like. Steve0080's mileage on the Dunlop seems to be stupid long in his last note to me. Damn decisions

    The run flat sounds nice but I have had very few flats in my life so not a large concern. I also read where the run flats have stiffer sidewalls so negatively affects the ride a bit and makes them hard to mount (pity for my tire guy). Looks is paramount but I do worry about losing lean angle when going to a 55 series tire vrs a 60.

    Cool

    The stiffer side wall is the BENIFIT.!!!!! I thought they quit making the Alpine? I used the Dunlop as a replacement ????? I can't look this up at my current location....

    I'll check Discount and Tire Rack later but the Primacy might not be available anymore. Several sites say "NO LONGER AVAILABLE". Steve's had great success with his Dunlop and quite a few YouBoob vids have guys using Kumho tires. Sounds fishy to me...........

    Steve.......you on the Space Station or something?

    That Potenza has Potential .......I do like that one. Not quite as many cuts as the Michelin for water siping? I've been a Michelin customer for decades on everything I've owned, except for Goodrich T/A Radials for the 4x4 beasts I used to take out west.

    There is a replacement Michelin with EXCELLENT reviews that would work and has very similar tread design with many sipes for water to exit, there is also the Pirelli winter tire (I have not seen any reviews)

    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
