I'm thinking I'm going to pass on the 2nd set of wheels now and just get a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S - run them year round.
My car has only 5,500 miles on it and the stock Runflats are in excellent condition. I'm just trying to get as much use from them as possible before winter hits. I figure I'll buy the All Seasons within the month, then put the RunFlats up for sale.

U guys got me leaning toward the hankooks! $600 shipped for a new set is nearly unbeatable. I'll do that for sure unless I find a ridiculously good deal on a used set...
Any input on running the 275/35 and 275/40 combo over my current 275/40 and 245/45 combo? Pros/cons?

Can I see some pics of 275/35's and 245/40's on the V?
Thanks for the info Egypt! I'll def get discount to price match. My buddy works up there so he usually does my labor on the side when he has the time which saves me some money.
My concern is the fender to tire gap with my drop. I like the way it sits on the tires now. I'd like the lower profile on the wheels but I'd like to see what kind of gap id be getting back by running that size.
