I am running a General GMax 205-55-16 with 16 oz of Ride On to balance it. I am very happy with it, but I think next time I might try one of the run flat tires with a stiffer side wall.
Here is a link to my GMax review,

car tire
I ran a Dunlop Sp5000 last. I liked it a lot and it got close to 20K on it. After the Dunnie, I got an Michelin Alpin runflat. I really like this tire a lot more than the Dunnie. It feels more like a MC tire than the Dunnie did.
It's also nice to have the security of a runflat.

Is that a winter/snow tire?

It's not a snow tire, but it is a winter sport tire. It's made to grip well in lower temperatures and it does have a deeper tread.
Really great tire.

it's called a winter sport. Not a "snow tire". It's made to grip in lower temperatures and has a deeper tread, which should mean longer life.
Really good tire.

Interesting. I'm assuming that its fine in the summer? How long have you had it? Mileage? Mount it yourself?
