No. The PS fluid reservoir cap has the green circle sticker.

Yeah, I'll get under the car and see for myself tomorrow. I have some 19" wheels laying around with some very worn yokohama advan sports. They still felt great on my e46 when I took them off, so I'll try them on and see if it changes the feel or not.

Oh, I'll add that the runflats do have a very sharp feel due to the stiff sidewalls. But you might not like everything about them. They are also a newer model tire since the ones I had.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll keep an eye out for those after I wear out my current set. I'm not throwing away new tires, I would rather live with it meanwhile if they end up being the culprit
