Ok cool. Will my Z have more swagger using one tire from a Aston Martin DB9 coupe?

And if anyone dares to question my Austin Martin badges on my 370z I'll be like, "Dude, did you not see my one rear tire came off a Austin Martin?!" "OPEN YOUR EYES!"

So when all is said and done which is a better choice, a run flat version of the same tire with the correct speed rating, or a normal version of the same tire with a higher speed rating? When you think about it the tire with the higher speed rating is going to have a different construction from the original just like the run flat will have a different construction.

EDIT: Oh and forgot to add another factor to the list of which is better. The correct tire but with substantially more tread than the rest? Out of these 3 factors, which is the best and the next best choice?
