Run-flats OFF, Pilot Exaltos ON... finally. I wish

I had done it from day 1. Not that the Dunlops were that bad...but the Exaltos are that GOOD. They are profoundly more quiet. The ride is much improved, but still stiff...like it should be. The low speed growl when turning has been vastly improved...as in, it's GONE. I have yet to test cornering ability, but it should be improved. I'll find out after a few more miles have completely worn off the release compound. Now...to sell those run-flats...hmmm.
