17" Runflats (Performance vs All Season)
QUESTION: Living in Florida where we get alot of rain (during the rainy season,) should I spec out the all season 17" tires or stick with the performance 17" tires? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. LET'S MOTOR!! :smile: :smile:

Take the performance tires.....you'll be glad you did....unless it snows more than usual.

I would agree, unless you drive into snow, you'll find the performace tires tend to have increased dry and wet traction over all-season selections. Tires are allways a compromise, when you select fewer traits to convey, you get the more exemplary results.

Would there be a noticeable difference in ride/comfort between the 16" and 17" wheels? Also, my S will come with runflats...can I replace them, when they're worn, with regular radial tires?
Thanks :smile:

Your S will come with runflats. You can replace them with regular tires but if you have a flat, you need to have some sort of backup. I intend to get a 12 volt compresor and a bottle of slime.
