Goodyear "RunOnFlat" runflat tire review - better ride quality?

Goodyear claims that its new runflat tire offering called "RunOnFlat" tires represents the next generation of run-flat technology, offering more comfort than the currently available runflat tires, yet maintaining the same benefits. A BMW magazine has recently reviewed a set of these tires and had much positive to say about them.

For those who feel that runflats result in too rough a ride, perhaps these will be the solution.

Check out the attached review (in PDF format).

I hear ya' on that brother....years of worn out tread on 2 T-Birds taught me my lesson.
I'd rather have the Bridgestone Potenzas before I put GoodYears on my car....

Goodyear F1's on the zo6 and new vettes are great tires. Most tire manufactures make great tires for great cars and crap tires for crapy cars.

There are better high performance tires than the F1 my friend...
There is a reason why Goodyear is no longer in F1/Champ Car./DTM/etc etc etc
