Pirelli Eufori for 2007 Cooper S

My OEM Continental Pro Contact 16" tires need replacement. Looking at Pirelli Eufori to replace them.

I live in WNY where it snows a lot, so I have snow tires for that.

Are the Euforis good for the rest of the year. How do they compete with the Continental Pro Contact? I understand that the Pro Contacts are the bottom of the pile.

Eufori's are more sporty tire, not designed for all season use. The Pro-Contact is less sporty and more quiet, a true all season tire.

Since you have snow tires, I assume you want something good in the dry, and wet, but don't care about snow and ice.

Looks like tirerack.com hasn't tested them. However, there are a few reviews posted. They are not favorable.

Have you considered abandoning runflats and carrying a Slime compressor like the ContiComfortKit? Tires are less expensive, have better ride, with great performance available. Check out Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2, and Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec.
