Depends - what do you want to do with the car and where? I have the Dunlop's here in Georgia and they're just fine - until it rains hard. Then you need to be careful with hydroplaning. They would probably suck in snow.

However, I think Dunlop (Goodyear) has the best run flat technology on this type of tire since it transmits very little road noise to the cabin, handles well (predictable) on dry roads and balances well on the wheel. But I bet they wear out within 25,000 miles. Then I will go to Conti ExtremeContact DWS, but they are not run flat - but that's why I am a AAA platinum member.

These tires offer all weather capabilities, great handling, low road noise, predictable on wet roads and, finally, reasonable cost.

My .02 cents...
