Default C5 Tires - who has what?

Well, its almost time for tires and I've been researching. There are a few different run flats out now, Yoko's and Firestone Firehawks. Anyone tried any of these? No major mods planned for the near future, just looking for a little better ride and less noise...

Your rough ride and noise comes from the runflat. Put on the same tire as the ZO6-Goodyear F1 supercars the best traction and way lighter. Rears $320 ea. Fronts $290ea.

I have Pirelli P-Zero Asymetricos on mine and they are great.Awesome dry corning traction.Not sure on rain(don't drive it in rain).As far as the ride repalcing the run-craps will make a huge difference!!Mine still has a lil road noise on grooved surfaces,but it's due to the 295/335 combo I'm running.More contact patch means a lil more noise.
