I will def test out the rf's when I get them before making a swap. Hopefully the noticeability of the problems will be offset somewhat by the fact that the roads are really good here as compared to the states. There are some of the best I've ever seen, and it's even better in SOME of the neighboring countries. Holland has some of the smoothest highways I've ever put rubber to tarmac on. Amazing. They're putting the revenue collected from the 'extra-curricular' activities to good use there.
That could well be Max...I know my eyes popped when I saw how little tread was left after 14 mos. of city driving. Michelin has a new uhp m&s out and I've really wanted to try a set of Dunlops.

But the runflat's as they are now aren't the tire they should be for the price.
If I had good roads to run on- I'd probably stick with the runflats- as is tho, I'll trade out as soon as I can after recovering from the purchase hit.
