When I was at the dealer I test drove another MCS that was identical on the exterior but it had Hankook's mounted. Same wheels, same basic car as the one I bought.

Adding winter tires in the fall, not sure about new wheels or tires. Maybe run winters on Cosmos, until I find second set of wheels I like.

How do you know if they are run flat tires?

I looked on Dunlop website and the Dunlop Sport Maxx RT does not seem to be.

205/45R17. Cosmos black in California.

Pirelli Cinturato

Looks to be 220
Soft-n-sticky = low miles
My guess 12- 15k?

These Dunlop Sport Maxx RT DSST RunOnFlat tires seem brand new and are not available online! Does anyone have a retail price available? They aren't even listed on Dunlop's site!

There should be a 'star' on the sidewall of run flat tires...
