Stupid question on tires

[1stSgt Viper]

I just recently bought a set of the Michelin PS2s for my 2005 Dodge Viper. I came across a good deal and decided to do it. I thought the tires that were on there were the original PS2 run flats, but now I am not sure. Are there any markings or indicators that will tell me they are run flats? There is no run flat symbol on them or should they say ZP (zero pressure) on them? This will probably make some laugh on here, but I am definitely NOT a tire expert. The research I did kind of leads me to believe that the tires would have a symbol or ZP on them if they were run flats.

Any info would be appreciated!

The Michelin run flats say "ZP" on the sidewall.

The 05 Viper came with Pilot Sport ZP tires. Not PS2 run flats.
I don't think PS2's were made in 2005 in Viper sizes, if at all.

Original tires that are 9 years old should be replaced anyway -- no matter what the type imho!!

Besides, the tread pattern is radically different. Just pull up you car on tirerack.com and it will show the OE tire (which is the runflat) and all other tire options including the best sellers/most popular tires for your vehicle.
