Curious,

What type of driving helped you decide? Track, drag, or street?

just around town, drag they stick really good, but in high speed turns any sterring imput is exagerrated to the car

I am very interested in your tires. I am also in San Diego. Please let me know. We could even swap tires if you want my run flats.

Add air. The non run flat pilot sports I bought are way better than the run flats, at every thing, track, autocross, street, drags, etc.

I did quite a bit of research on this issue. From a traction, handling, noise, and wear standpoint the two tires are the same, according to Michelin and The Tire rack. The run flat is a much stiffer sidewall tire and is also Y speed rated. Non run flats are only Z speed rated for the front tire. They are not Y speed rated as this car requires for bith handling and saftey. Run flats on the front wheel require a 10" wheel while the non run flats require a max of 9.5 inches. There are any other differences whick if you go to The TireRack.com you will see.

whatever the difference, i just ordered the runflats to put back on, the sidewall flex is so bad at any PSI that its scary at higher speeds on the nonrunflats. So I have a set of non run flats for salee
