Need New Tires... Recommendations, Please...
UK member here 2003 xfire Coupe Auto 60k. Michelin Pilot Sport were fitted as standard from new. Lasted 32k on rear 42k on front. Replaced rear with Pirelli P Zero Rosso lasted 11k, sticky but wow the wear rate! Now on Conti's doing OK with 16k on them but more than 50% worn now and liable to give way without warning near the limit. Had Kumo on the front and they were OK but hard and noisy and tram lined something awful. I had to replace them due to a tracking problem after ball joint change and have returned to Michelin. God I didn't realized how much I missed them.
Stick with Michelin costly but worth every penny.

The only reason they are off right now is to use up the last of the OEM Michelins during the dry season, and keep the snows as fresh as I can for next winter. Price was good for an odd size high speed tire IMO.

dunlop sp sport 9000 dsst
More recently in Europe, Dunlop has sold ultra high performance tires which incorporate a new run-flat technology that is designed to be mounted on current original equipment and aftermarket wheels. This run-flat technology is being introduced in the United States by incorporating it into Dunlop's flagship "HydroMax" performance tire, the SP Sport 9000. This new run-flat tire line currently offers five sizes and has been named the SP Sport 9000 DSST, with the DSST suffix identifying that it utilizes Dunlop Self-Supporting Technology.
Designed to continue running for up to 50 miles at speeds up to 55 mph even after sustaining air pressure losses which would render conventional tires unusable, SP Sport 9000 DSST tires allow drivers the convenience of being able to better choose when and where they will have their tire repaired. For that matter, when driven straight down the road or on the highway, SP Sport 9000 DSST tires are so good at masking the traditional loss-of-air symptoms which accompany a flat tire, that they require a tire pressure monitoring system to alert the driver that they have lost air pressure.
