I have Goodyear runflats. It's difficult to be objective, as I've not really driven with other tyres, but they seem OK (at least after 3,000 miles). Yes the ride is not faultless, but waht car is on badly repaired roads? It's certainly a lot better than my previous car with 17 inch low profile tyres, and they weren't runflats.

I would certainly not recommend Goodyear NCT5 wich are fitted on my 122 wheels: very hard and ver poor in traction on the wet below 7 ?C

I too have nothing to compare against in terms of grip or road noise, but my Goodyear's seem OK to me!

I just fitted a set of Goodyear F1's (less than 100 km) so I can't say more than they look fantastic

Two months doesn't really tell us much - that could be anything between a few hundred and what, 8000 miles depending how much you use the car....

I recently swapped out RFT Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 (harsh ride, dismal handling, especially in the wet) for non-RFT ContiSportContact2s (on 245/40/18 Style 135 M-Sport rims) - decision was made after a fair bit of research on this and other forums: general consensus was the Pilot Sport 2s are the best performance/handling tyre, but the Conti's ride significantly better while not giving up too much on the handling front to the Michelin's.

Did you realy notice a difference with the NCT5?

Is it in terms of comfort (noise?) or grip?

Is this worth the expense?
