The stock tire is the 205/50VR17. It is a runflat tire that costs about $250 a tire. The tread lasts about 30,000 miles but I have to replace 2 tires because they have a bulge on the side (probably from hitting a pot hole). Has anyone used the Michelin Pilot Sport or Pilot Exalto?
From what I've heard if you have run flat tires you have to replace them with run flat tires. They are considerably stiffer than a regular tire, and therefore the suspension is different. Putting a regular tire on will change how it rides. So I've heard. I don't have run flat tires.

Have you look at the Dunlop SP Sport 7000 A/S it is a run-flat tire that cost less than the OE Pirelli Eufori. You should stay with what the car was designed with.
