17" S-lites, perf vs all-season OEM tires
17" S-lites, perf vs all-season OEM tires
What are pros and cons of 2 different OEM tires offered for 17" S-lites on S?
I ordered the all-seasons figuring they provided better wet/snow traction and longer tread life, but they seem to be heavier. Any clear winner between OEM choices?

With either one you'll most likely want to change them to non-runflats. The ride is extremely harsh compared to a regular tire. With that said, I have the performance Pirelli run-flats and really like the way they handle. However, compared to the Falken Ziex 512s (all season regular tires) the ride is much rougher, jarring and jittery.
If I were to order again today, I would choose all season run flats and go with performance non-runflats. As it is, once the Pirellis wear out I won't be replacing them with runflats (no need to throw them out or not use them).
I have no experience with the all season runflats so I can't comment on the way they handle. Although I was initially critical of the Falkens, they do handle fairly well for an all season tire.
