Anybody had experience running the Goodyear 17" all season runflats in the snow?
Thanks,
Gary

I have runflats and I hate them. They are just bad tires all around. Gunna switch em out when they are worn.

I have the 17" Goodyear Runflats, all season. I haven't had any problems with them. They don't feel any different from any other all season tires I've had in the past. I feel very comfortable with them in the snow.

ps- in the summer i do plan on getting some more wheels with stickier tires, just for fun.

I have found the Goodyear Eagle all seasons runflats are a compromise all the way around. They are adequate in light snow, light rain, light cornering etc.. I will not keep them when they wear out. I put Yokohama Avid H4's on my saab 9-3 and they were great, if you have to go all seasons. They are better than the original Michelin's that came with the Saab by a wide margin. I hope my runflats wear out soon.

Hey,
I have 17" run-flats, but mine are Pirelli's and I like them a lot but I am still scared about if one of them pops that they wont live up to the 50MPH 40 mile run.
