Im debating which tire to get to replace my potenza run flats on my car right now. Im thinking either Toyo Proxes T1-R's or Bridestone Potenza RE-11's I havent found too many reviews on the Re11's yet so if anyone is using those please share your input. I dont care really about wet traction, i dont drive my car at all when its raining or wet out. I want them to be great on dry summer days. The Toyos seem like a pretty good value for about 1000 for the set 275/30 19 rear 245/35 19 front, or any other options. Need to decide soon.

I don't have advice per say on exactly which brand to get, but I will say don't get a run flat... they are a bad drive and super expensive.

I've heard good reviews about the Goodyear Eagle GT, Yokohama S.Drive, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus, but I'm no tire expert just my 2 cents I guess. Try to look up whichever tires your most interested in on either discounttire or tirerack, somewhere where people post a lot of reviews and get some info on them. Gonna be hard to find people on here that have first hand experience with a specific tire I'd think.
