Tyre Advice 275/35/19

Hi guys,

Before winter I'll need to replace my rear Dunlop Sport Maxx GT, like for like replacements are £183. These are B in the WET and E on fuel.

Anything else I should consider?

And without wanting to open a can of worms what about non run flats? Dunlop SP Sport 01 are A rated in the WET and £134 each.

Thanks.

Have you tried looking for the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 3 (A/S3) ?

Seem to get rave reviews everywhere, but I can't locate them in the UK.

are those run flats?
I'm only asking as they seem considerably cheaper than the tyres I've had to get (for punctures) previously.
I've had 2 punctures on the rear for the Michellin Primacy 19 inch 275/35 they came to 400 pounds, not cheap at all!

The £134 Dunlops aren't run flats.

I just replaced my rear 275/30 R20 Dunlop Sport Maxx GT's. Came in at £250 each, had tyre shops quoting me well over £300 for these. So the price for your 19's seems right to me. I did consider changing them all to A/S3's but couldn't find them either so stuck with what I had...
