This statement from the OP is true: "the whole handling dynamics of the car was designed based on runflats".
It's also true that the M3 doesn't use RFT's.
So how would our sport suspensions be different if BMW designed them for non RFT's? Does anyone know? I've read BMW used softer bushings to make up for the stiff sidewalls.
After running original OEM Bridgestone RFT's then PS2's then DW's, I can tell you they all feel quite different. I can also tell you that DW's are 30 pounds lighter (as a set) than RFT's.
Captain Audio posted good stuff on slip angles that explains why RFT's don't handle better even though they have better steering response.
