They're LOUD, that's all I can say about run flats. My GS300 AWD came with run flats...they blow.

houston that photo is the S02 not 3! (my honda s2000 has the s02)
if i had my druthers i would have shod my c32 with s03's. they have a stiffer side wall vs the PS2s. you need that with the mass of these cars
(my 3000gt spyder is 4000 lbs and has 255/40 S03 and i just love these tires)
also....you cannot swop the ps2s from side to side to even out wear.
s03's in a heartbeat for me- but i don't care about tramlining or ride comfort.

anther reason i like the s03s is the greater rim protection is has vs the ps2. the shoulders are more square and the tirewall extends out a bit more.
either me or my wife did some curb rashing on my right front rim in just one month and despite being careful 235/35 ps2 mounted on 8.5 in rim
yeah...plus the mitchelin farce at USGP....go give your $ to bridgestone.

I ordered my 19" PS2's on ASA ST4's from Tire Rack on March 15th and they just arrived yesterday. I tried several other tire dealers during my wait and I was told they were backordered nationwide.
They were worth the wait though... I really like them so far... I'm hoping to get more miles from them than I did on my POS Conti's.

Scrap the PS2s and go for the SO3s.

For what it’s worth, I talked to the Michelin rep at the M-class rally this weekend about the extra load designation on the rears for the 211-E55. He looked in his fitment book and then looked in the Michelin product book and he couldn’t find a properly rated tire in the PS2 line or any line for the car. Maybe that’s why the label on the car say to use only Continentals or Dunlops.

Unfortunately, a yellow diesel E-class is harder to get than an E55 in my neck of the woods. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, it just a car. It does not matter if it has 1000 hp, it still a sedan that you see everyday, at least where I live.

Dunlops?
Does anybody run Dunlops? If so, do you like them? My 847R's will be here either tomorrow or Wed. I want to make sure I get a smooth, quiet ride.Most people suggest the PS2's but I'd like to hear from people who run Dunlops too. Thanks everybody.

my exp w dunlops runs back to the venerable d40m2 circa 1990...awesome tire.
i have sp8000s on a commuter and the sidewall rolls. i think this is a gen criticism of the dunlops.
