Luke, Q about Dunlop Graspic DSST snow tires
I need snow tires for my 2001 Mercedes E55 with OEM staggered 18inch wheels. On your site Dunlop Graspic DS2 DSST CTT runflats are on sale for $114.
I've heard that runflats ride very harsh & noisy? Have you gotten terrible feedback on these tires, is that why they are on sale? Are they discontinued?
Also, can I run 245/40/18 size on both front & rear? my wheels are 8in wide front & 9in in the back.

depends on the weather
while I have not had absolutely horrible reviews of the Graspic DSST tires are harsher riding than the non-runflat versions. With that said it is not a good idea to run a runflat tire without a pressure monitoring system and a 2001 E55 did not come from the factory with TPMS so, factor in another $200 - $300 into the cost of those tires which would defnitely reduce the "deal" they are being offered for at this time
