We keep hearing that runflat technology is improving, but I would be interested to drive the same car with ordinary tyres.

We have 18"s on the 320 wagon and that rides a lot better than the 19"s on the convertible. The convertible is the only car that I have ever bought that I feel has
too harsh a ride.
I thought that I was getting old, but it is seriously bad.
I will be installing some coil-overs at some stage and may just ditch the runflats. Runflats also don't have the grip required when you run the ProCede Stage 3
I had 19"s on my E46 convertible and even though it was lowered on sports springs, it still felt better (not much although) than the new 335 convertible.
