I need a new set of tires and will most likely go with non run flat tires. Either Eagle F1 or PS2's.

Is the handeling of the car better or worse on non run flat tires?

Is there any reason not to do this?

Thanks
Sean

Don't know if the handling is any better, but it's definitely more comfortable (vs. Bridgestones) and quieter (vs. Dunlops). I have the PS2s and like them . Others may have experience with GY Eagles. I'd definitely recommend the switch.

Non runflats will transform your car; better ride, better handling , quieter, longer life......

I've tried the PS2s and PZero rossos, both very good, personally though the Pirelli's were slightly better handling, especially in the wet.
