Just dumped mine for regular tires and hoping the ride quality improves noticeably.
I had the Bridgestone S001 staggered, summer RFTs for ~25k miles, never had an issue with potholes around LA. The Pirelli Cinturatos must really suck.

Replaced them with go-flat Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and could not be happier. Better ride, turn in & traction, with less road noise. Plus, they are about half the cost of the Bridgestone S001 set-up.

Have AAA & more than one vehicle, so don't really care about the lack of spare tire situation.

Also, put Michelin Pilot Sport A/S-3+ on my wife's Subaru (PS4S don't come in that size), while not quite the PS4S, still a fantastic tire!
