18" or 19" Summer High Performance Runflat Tires RFT
 

I picked up a set of Blizzak LM-60 RFTs that I've been running this winter with great results.

My stock Bridgestone all season RFTs are getting down there in wear, and I'm looking to replace the with a dedicated set of summer / high performance tires.

I would like to stick with an RFT. (I know, that's a huge limiter).

They will never be used in snow/cold. Performance on dry/rain is desirable. Also (and I know this is impossible), I have to drive at construction sites, off-road, from time to time, so something that will have some self-cleaning would be nice (but looks to be non-existent).

Right now, it's looking like the Pirelli P-Zero RFTs. Any other suggestions?

I installed the non-RF version of the Continental CrossContact UHP late last summer on my X3. Good feel, predictable at-the-limit handling characteristics, fairly quite, and excellent at braking. Plus, it's designed for SUVs so that's a plus. I like it for what it is- a tire designed for performance in the summer wet and dry.

Drawbacks? German tests say it has a slightly higher rolling resistance and it rides on the firm side. Great handling, but if your roads are in poor condition, the ride won't be smooth. Don't know how much the RFT version will exacerbate it.
