As someone mentioned, definitely change all 4 of them to non-run flats. You'll never regret it.
I would go Potenzas first, S drive second and finally the Direzzas. I was in the same price range when I was shopping for tires and did a whole bunch of research.
1. Potenzas and S drive have really excellent reviews. I chose Potenzas over S Drives over life of tire.
2. I had the Direzzas on the car and wasn't too happy with them. They were noisier than the bunch and have on OK wet traction. Online reviews also don't rate them well.
I'm now running BF Goodrich Comp 2 Sports (also in the same price range) and they're excellent. Quiet, great wet/dry traction. I've had them on for 3 months now so I have to see how tread life is on them.

I've read the board here & some online reviews, and have narrowed down to 3 options for my Los Angeles daily driver non-M si Coupe on 18s:
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport (is this the comparable non-RFT 050A?) advantage is non-directional asymmetry allows side-to-side "rotation"
Dunlop Direzza DZ101 (i think the Sport Z1 Star Specs are too hardcore for me) side-to-side "rotation"?
Yokohama S.drive (the oddball in thew group?)
any opinions would be greatly appreciated; thanks for your input!  |
