tire recommendations?

Hey everyone

I have been searching around on the forum but haven't found what im looking for.

Is there any run flat tires that you guys would recommend?

I looked into michelin pilot sport and bridgestone but read a few bad reviews on them. I don't want any sensors showing or even breaking on me...From your experiences can you please share?

I looking for good grip in dry and wet conditions,last as long as possible and mainly feel comfortable(not a hard ride,feeling the road)

Thanks,

I've noticed a lot of people are saying ditch the run flat tires and get summer tires? is it because it doesn't last as long? Would the TPS sensor light turn on if i don't get run flat tires?

Tpms sensor won't come on if you switch to non run flats. I just bought the continental extreme contact dw tires last week and love them. Don't miss my run flats at all. Saved over 1000 dollars compared to what it would've cost me to get the tired at the dealer.

if you can afford it, get michelin pilot super sports (PSS). best street tire that actually lives up to the hype.

if you want to save a little bit from that, the michelin pilot sport 2 (PS2) are good too.

if you're on a super budget, get either hankook v12's or falken fk452's.

if you come across a deal on funky named tires like triangle (who the hell names a tire brand a "triangle"?!) or ironman, dont do it.

Your car won't throw any error codes for running non-RFT. You'll be fine with other tires especially Michelin PSS!!!
