If folks are switching from the Michelon Pilot Sport Zero Pressure tires what have you found to be a good alternative?

I assume you still want to keep the run-flat technology? If that is the case I think the Michelin's are about the best choice.

Kent, I have been running Dunlop V treads which are very sticky during the summer and get me off the line like a jack rabbit, but in the winter they harden up which I imagine most tires do and can burn rubber for a block. They don't make run flats in 20" tires. I think Michelon does now, but don't wear as well.

I wanted to stick with the run flats and had been happy with the Michelons so that is what I ended up sticking with.
