And that was my issue with run-flats. Just no grip, even in the dry, warm weather. Below 10 degs and in the wet they were like slicks, traction control light came on all the time.

But that was 4-5 years ago, so maybe they have improved them. But for winters I'll only trust non-RFTs to give me the best grip.

I'm hoping winters is on the way out when I pick up my car
