kumho or bridgestone?

Hi guys,

I need some new tires for my MCSa. I need to stay with the run-flats as my wife uses the car quite often, so, changing to non-runflats is not an option (don't ask ).

Anyway, I want to stay with the original size, 205-45-17. It has the Bridgestone Potenzas on it now, but I was wondering about the Kumho ecsta stp xrp runflats. According to tire rack, they have a 340 wear rating while the Bridgestones have a 140 rating. I'm curious if this makes the Kumhos even stiffer riding than the Bridgestones. If not, then the additional wear would be nice.

Thanks in advance

I have no info on those tires exactly, but have you considered the Conti's ?

They are widely used out this way, and rarely hear any complaints from those who have switched to them.
