Just an FYI for anyone still interested in this thread. I just finished reading the reviews on Tire Rack for my tires: They are OEM Bridgestone Dueler 400 HT run flats. There are quite a few negative reviews concerning these tires in the wet, snow, and ice. I'm now a bit concerned myself about how well they'll do on our Tahoe trips.

Hopefully the reviews are a bit exaggerated, but given that I lost the rear in just a bit of rain, it might be worth doing some due diligence if you're on these shoes too. Anyway, be safe out there!
Crap, just did my "due diligence" last night - what I thought was normal all season tire performance last winter looks instead to just be a crappy tire (I have Dueler 400s as well). Seeing as how the car is performing right now in the rain, I'm thinking about picking up a set of Nokian WRG2s and swapping them out (saving my D400s for lease return). Not worth the risk.

Now have to decide if I want runflats or not...
