Replacing Run-flats...with?
#18
Wonder if they are available here in the US.

Should be but probably under another name. I have noticed that in the US a lot of items are given a name rather than a designation (eg C1S).
I was a confirmed Michelin, Pirelli, Continental man until I tried these. I have never had such a quiet tyre with such grip. UTGQ 300, AA A as well. They have simply blown me away.

Today I stopped into my local Town Fair Tire and spoke to the mgr. and he mentioned something about a negative camber that the SC430 has in the front end and that not been a good match for the DWS tread pattern. At this point I really wish I stuck with the Toyo Verasado's. I have had the Toyo's on 2 other cars and I have been very happy with them.
I would love to keep the DWS's on the car if I can get them to track straight (car now drifts to the right) and stay balanced.
Reasons to keep
# 1 All season traction
# 2 Great price
# 3 50,000 tread life warranty
Well I'm back to the dealer later next week to have them mount & balance the replacements that Tirerack is sending. Sure hope I have better luck this time.
Thanks for listening

I just did the same and at this point I'm sorry I did. I think the DWS might be a little to aggressive of a tread pattern. I have had the tires for 10 days and had them balanced 3 times. Tirerack is sending 2 replacements because they think I might have "out of round tires" ??

My SC had Dunlop RF on it before I bought the DWS and it rode quite harsh but never had any drift left or right. As I stated above I have sent the DWS back to Tirerack for a refund under the 60 day test drive. I replaced them with a set of Toyo Versado and the car tracks straight as an arrow

Did you ever notice a drift before putting the DWS on the car??

New tires for the SC430
Well I'm one of the proud winners of the Hot summer sweepstakes for Cooper tires & am happy to say the RS3A's are a Great replacement for our run flat tires. Great ride and road response. Worth a look at.
