Just Dunlop or Pirelli or Michelin will not help.

You need to give us model names to help you out.

My choice would be the Bridgestone Potenza RE050 which comes as OEM with the BMWs. These are extremely good tyres.

If you want Michelin, which model in particular are oyu looking at?

PS: I havent bothered to try to convince you to get normal tubeless as you seem to have failed in convincing your dad!

Thanks nikhil

But how do rate the michelin zp sr. It is available in pune. I dont know if they are any better than bridgestone though. I'm not sure regarding pirelli P zero (rosso / nero type) as i dont know where i can get them in pune.

Pirelli P Zero Neros are awesome. If you get it at a similar price, go for it blindly.

Can you tell us what exactly his specific reasoning is for wanting runflats?

How well aware is he of the +ves and -ves?
