Snowtire choices
There aren't a lot of choices in the USA on snowtires in runflat the size required for the GT (base suspension, i.e., 18"): Dunlop, Michelin, and Pirelli each make one along with Nokian. While the Nokian probably is the best in deep snow, test results imply it's not the best on dry roads (which we have here a lot of the winter). The Pirelli is a low-rolling resistance tire, which should give better mileage. It's still a couple of months before these will be needed, but I'm probably going to get some in the next 6-weeks, just to ensure I can actually get some. With Canada mandating snow tires in many places, the last year or so it has been tough to actually find them in certain sizes if you wait too long.
Anyone have any experience with any of these, and able to offer opinions?
Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D RunOnFlat
Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 ZP
Pirelli Winter 210 Sottozero Serie II RFT
I've run the PA2 before (they don't make the PA3 in runflat, yet) and it was decent, but haven't run either a Dunlop or Pirelli for awhile.
Other choices I'm not aware of?
