Default TR: How about top 5 recommendations for runflats?

Due to lack of spare and I do not see what the fuss is about on run flats being too noisy, lexus is already too quiet for my taste. I will probably always run runflats.

any recommendation?

It would be hard for me to make a sticky for top 5 run flats b/c they change so much from vehicle to vehicle and size to size. There would have to be top 5 for SC, top 5 for Corvette, top 5 for Mini, top 5 for E90/E46. Also, there usually aren't many more then 5 choices total in a run flat tire in any given size.

well noted, how about just for myself then. in my case and my size/car. what's your recommendation?

I have the Bridgestone Turanzas EL42 from factory, it doesn't appear to be a well liked tire.

just want to know which are some of the more popular run flats out there
