Has anyone switched out of their Run-flats Tires?
Has anyone switched out of their stock Run Flat Tires and has noticed considerable improvement on their ride quality?
I'm still using the OEM RFT and I feel that my ride is somewhat harsh on rough pavement. Every bump is loud and noticeable =( |

Still running with my OEM RFT and thinking about getting the Michelin PS2 when it's time to replace it.

It's usually one of the first things everyone does.

I don't think the stock tires are as bad as most like to say. I switched from the stock to 19s with cheap, mismatched tires and my car rode a little worse, for sure was way louder. The tires I upgraded to now definitely are better than that setup or stock.

I put a set of 18" Michelin PS2s on a set of Alufelgen CS wheels (8"F, and 9"R), and the cars ride is jsut so much smoother. Unless you like the bone jarring bumpy ride of the stock RFTs, it is the best mod to date, and that is used 100% of the time. (Well, except when parked listening to the sound system).
