Where can I actually GET the RE960's?
Guys, I called Alex and he confirmed that these are excellent, softer riding runflat tires. However, I can't find them anywhere and my tires need replacing now.
Turns out that Holy Grail is the right description, as these seem to be great tires, but not a lot of good if they don't actually exist!
I can't switch to non run-flats - any help on where I might find these is much appreciated. After Alex couldn't find them I tried Sears, America's/Discount, Firestone etc. and they confirmed what Alex told me I am in San Diego, CA.

new 205/55-16
What was your impression when going from 195's to 205's? I understand that the ride is much improved with the new model of runflat, but how about steering feel and adhesion?
I am on my second S hardtop and I got 16" wheels this time around. I had 17" runflats on my last mini and changed then to non runflats after 11,000 miles. I will keep the current 16's until they wear out.

Just an FYI.
I just bought these tires from TireRack on April 27 and they arrive tomorrow, mounted on ASA AR1's. The road test said the ride of these 3rd generation RFT's was much different than previous RFT's and rode just as smooth, quiet as a NON RFT. I am anxious to see how they work. I can only compare them to the NON RFT's I bought for my Z4 a year ago.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, just to clarify - "Alex" in my original post is Alex from Tire Rack. And he tells me that Tire Rack does NOT have them, or for sure I would have purchased them. My size is 205/45/17. I would wait for Alex to get them but by then I will be down to the belts.
