I received a new (I thought) ESCTA and didn't look at the date code before installing. Ripped the bead it was soo stiff. NOW I look and see but I still wouldn't have though a 6 yr old tire would be that hard but it is now in the crap pile.

And the ESCTA is no longer available, soo I am now back to looking for a replacement but I think I may go back to non runflats. This Kumho was my first runflat and mounting them are tough enough. IF I received the mileage I had anticipated or at least could have stuck with the Kumho being very happy with the performance, then maybe.

Sooooo

General G-MAX AS-03 IF still available
or
Yokohama AVID ENVigor V rated UTQG: 560 A A

If I stick with a run flat then

Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D DSST RunOnFlat


OK so where is the little icon with the guy pounding his head on a wall ????
