I nearly ate a curb once, just pulling out onto the road. In bone dry conditions, in comfort mode... I did
not like the Cinturato P7 RFTs at all. Rock hard, loud, poor grip. As expected, I got a bubble. I don't even remember hitting anything. Good excuse to swap the whole set, though.
Current price for a Cinturato P7 is $212 on Tire Rack, ~$230 after tax. I decided to try something cheap (but reputable) since I barely put any miles on. I got Toyo Extensa HP IIs for $116.99 or ~$127 after tax... Set of 4 installed for $563.49 after 5% back from Amazon. Wouldn't even get me 3 of those stupid run-flats. The Toyos are much quieter and ride much better. Still need to be broken in, but safe to assume they handle better too. Very satisfied, especially considering the price.
That said, I do have 3 Cinturato P7s sitting around now, with plenty of tread... Anyone looking for a spare or need to swap an axle? I'll make a proper post in classifieds later. For now, the specs are 225/45R18 95H, probably 8-8.5/32nds.
