Kumho/Perelli?
OK, my runflats are about gone. It's been 28K and I'm going to need some new tires for the winter. I've been looking at the Tire Rack and I'm kind of liking the Kumho Ecsta ASX and the Perelli P Zero Nero M&S (205/50R16). The Perelli's just went up in price, so I'm leaning towards the Kumhos for $16 less. Anyone using these tires?I don't race but I will, if the opportunity presents itself, take some hard truns if I can . By the way, I thought the Dunlop Runflats did great in snow .

I've had the Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S size 215/45/17s on for about 2000 miles and love them so far. Compared to my previous Falken Ziex ZE-512s same size, they are much more rigid with way better turn in. I run them at 37psi for the bad roads here and while they are a little stiff, the handling, turn in feel, and peace of mind far outweigh the slight harshness. The wet/snow performance I can't comment on yet. Plus they only weigh 21lbs in my size.

I considered both, espeically the Pirelli, but became concerned when I read about short tread life. So I went for Door #3 .... the Toyo Proxes 4, available from Edge Racing. Its a highly rated AllSeason tire too. I've only had mine for about 1000 miles but they seem like a nice tire; others who have had them longer may chime in too. The difference compared to the runflats is "only" HUGE!
