I choose summer tires 245/40 R20 for rims 20/9 offset 35, all around.
Here are some options wich like me:
Michelin PILOT SPORT 4 S
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 (run flat)
Goodyear EfficientGrip
Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance

I love a comfortable ride, good handling and low noise :)

What would you choose?
I would be grateful for the advice

I had the Goodyear Eagle F1s some years ago, though I don’t think they were asymmetric, and I was disappointed in how loud they were. I never bought Goodyear again. For years following that I only bought Michelins; they’re a known quantity and always good. Then for the last 4 sets of tires we’ve needed, I’ve gotten Continentals, and been as pleased with them as I was with Michelins, and for much less $. YMMV.

Good question. I’m looking to replace the tires on my 70D. Thinking about runflats, maybe?? Wondering if others have had good or bad experiences to share.
I had to replace 3 run-flats over the first two winters I had them, on my prior car. I swapped them out for non-run flats and would never go back. They seemed much more succeptible to damage.

Michelin Pilot Primacy vs Michelin Pilot Sport 4
I know that Michelin has updated the line and now PS4. But Primacy is still on sale (-25%).
What would you choose? Need comfort, silence, handling

No run flats for me, too. Had them on my Lexus SC and did what most in clublexus.com forum had done— replace them with regulars to improve the jarring ride the much stiffer tire walls of the run-flats offer.
