ALL tires will not last that long for a car with 300 HP. Don't expect much more than 20K miles for the rears.

IF you want to stick to OEM run flats and tire sizes... I think your only choices are: Dunlap, Bridgestone, Michelin's. IF you go with 225's and 245's(or even 255's) you might find more run flat tire options out there.

I just switched from run flats to regular tires(I have a spare in teh trunk so I'm not worried about a flat tire) and I am quite impressed with how much better the car rides over the rough stuff(roads). I went with Michelin PS3's.

rft = garbage IMO

but still... just get a plug kit and a handheld air pump and purchase a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports... you will save $$ and have far better tires/ride quality/etc etc
but good luck no matter what road you take OP

If you want to stay with RFTs, then the Dunlop SP Sport 01 DSST Run on Flats have a treadwear rating of 280, double that of the RE 050A. But they are almost as expensive.

For a non RFT, have you considered the Conti Extreme DW + a 12v compressor & plug kit?

See the link for all 3 + the Pirelli OEM RFT.

I just bought Conti Extreme DW's and have the Conti-Kit. But. they are 225-40/18 & 255-35/18. Car rides better and looks fine. They are like glue in the wet.
