You got 11k from the Elite - I doubt I'd get 7k from it, but I'm aggressive. My Vredestein got me 18k. I'm okay with the Austone now I got the issues addressed. Long story.

I would think a 175 60 16 would work. http://www.mavistire.com/productcart/pc/_shopbysize.asp Has a Dunlop runflat.
The folks on the GW forum really liked this tire.

True Dat, but Wings are better with revs than Hawgs - no way I want to run that short on mine, especially cammed for low end torque. A 185/65 is about the lowest I dare to play, and that's shorter than the stock tire that always left me looking for another gear.

DId i read or hear somewhere that the run flat sidewalls are a bit to stiff??? not letting it flex enough therefore not giving the best contact patch???
