I’ll try running less air first. Non run flats would certainly be a better ride but then I’d have to lug a spare around, which is my least favorite choice. If I can fit a 205/50/17 I’ll go with that option in a run flat tire. (I swear my Pirelli RF were smoother than these Hankook RF) Just not sure of the fit. Diameter would go from 24.3” to 25.1”.

 

Instead of a spare I carry a VIAR kit (small high quality high pressure 12V compressor kit.) and a dynaplug kit. The VIAR kit has room for some tools as well. It does work as I have used it. I run Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+s and I like them. They are not as grippy as the MPSS, but they are not a summer only tire either and I run a lot in the winter. The Tail is basically deserted then. I am running with the 18" OEM cup wheels, 215s work fine for me. The 225s will rub sometimes in hard cornering from what my running buds tell me.

 

 

Thanks all.......since I love the car, but hate the tires/ride I'll either go with a 50 series RF for more sidewall, or order a spare tire, wheel spacer and go with conventional tires. Any reason many of you switch to NM wheels with regular tires instead of running on stock rims?
