He agreed that non-runflats are quieter and provide a comfortable ride, but if it is performance that I am looking for (I am) then runflats are my best choice.
Do you guys think he is BSing me, or does he have a point?

WRONG. Salesman is full of it. Sidewalls being this stiff HURT handling. At city speeds they feel more responsive but at speed they are not. Try going through a corner and hitting a bump......car jumps sideways as sidewall is so stiff. We need Captainaudio to explain slip angles again. Sidewalls need to flex more that rft to maintain grip.
