A convertible is going to be inherently less stable

I have to agree with the other posters on the this forum that the run flats do pose a problem from a ride quality perspective. This is not to mention that run flats only comprise less than 3% market share as of 2011. I plan on ripping through my run flats until I need to change the tires. When that time comes, I will replace with conventional tires. This isn't an option if you are leasing. Congrats on your vert purchase. On a cool morning or evening drive, there is nothing like the experience of a drop top motoring. Perhaps you should consider the drive near Griffith observatory. That is the ideal drive for a vert in LA.

oddly, I do find myself getting vexed with other vert drivers who have their tops up. Summer just exploded in Socal |

I might eventually get some summertime performance tires like Yokohama AD08 or Michelline Pilot Sports, but for now, the car is working well. I would say that a dealer should check all the suspension links, and also the shocks. Sometimes, suspension noise is caused by a failing shock. |

Can we do a fact check on this? I thought the shipping blocks are white.... MarkR171, you have a 2011, right? Do you see yellow things in your struts? I do on mine, but I think the yellows are bumpstops and should be there...
