So I'm thinking about buying new tires for the ATS in the not too distant future. It has run-flats on it right now. My buddy who's dad is VP Manufacturing at Nitto tells me that run flats are shitty tires, and for anything that a can of fix a flat won't fix, they're pointless anyway.
So should I just get regular tires? I have no spare. Any recommendations? I'd like to get at least 30k miles out of them. These are at 26 and getting pretty slick in the rain already.
Separately - I am thinking about buying new rims for the car and using these stock ones as winter wheels. What's your recommendation for a grippy winter/all season tire that might work good on a RWD, manual trans platform. I know when I got in a couple slick spots last winter with this car it was straight up a sled, and that's coming from tail happy monte carlos that i've always driven.
