Needing Tire Advice...

Any GP owners out there that have put non run-flats on their cars? How big of a performance difference did it make?

Hey GP,
I got no input for ya. I just felt bad nobody responding. It's hard for me to justify with so few miles on the car. I am curious about the same thing though.
Motor On!

Thanks Highbid

I know that I don't shower everyday. Or change my underwear as often as I should. But I was begging to develop a complex!

Thanks for your vote of confidence, Highbid!

I've got a set of 205/40/18's Pilot Sport PS2's in my garage but no GP yet! It is due to dock in NJ tomorrow though so it shouldn't be long. Steve
