Bridgestone or Conti or Dunlop or Pirelli?

Spare and non-runflats will change your life. You'll never realize how harsh the runflats tires are until you've changed to non-runflats; after which you'll cringe every time you drive a loaner.

The factory jack and donut does not bounce around even if you don't have the factory holder.

That said I have third row, so no space under there. For short trips I use a sealer and I carry a plug kit (If I have blow out, I have AAA Premier). For long trips I carry the spare in the trunk. I carry a 6 ton bottle jack that I put in the compartment on the left.


As for the tires you listed there, I only used the Dunlop runflats and they seemed to do pretty well.

I have recently changed from Pirelli to Dunlop Sport Maxx GT RFTs.
Early days however they do have a slightly improved ride quality.
Hoping I will get more miles out of them as the Pirellis were shocking
They certainly have a wider wheel profile across tread (325/30/21)which I like.

Vredestein. Look at the reviews on tire rack. They’re quickly becoming the go-to. Beating Michelin all seasons.

I’m very happy with my Vredestein’s. They ride well, minimal noise, handle well in wet, and on dry. They wear well, too.

Very close on the DWS vs AS4 vs Vred performance wise but the 400 treadwear rating on the Vred kills it for me. Conti the least expensive by a little. I'm going that route next coming from AS4

I’m running the Conti DWS06 for my seasonal tires. They have been great so far!

What Vredestein? Quatrack Pro? I am also looking at Michelin Defender LTX M/S and Primacy A/S (which is what i have now, but seemed to wear out fast). Have 19’s.

Pirelli PZero RFT is good option
