Can't wait for summer. Will go with PS2 RFT's!!

I understand the PSS are Sqoochie too!!
Yea it was my first set of run flat tires ever so I expected that maybe the ride was gonna be reduced to like 15% softer but the difference between RFT and non RFT handling and turn in is night and day. Especially since I was getting the Michelin PS2's I expected max performance from a tire like that but felt that in terms of turn in and overall handling I made a huge downgrade which I think the RFT to Non RFT tires conversion is to blame

I also read a bunch of bad reviews on RFT going bald quickly and if you get a hole in them they are really hard to repair. Despite all that I feel like I lost a part of the BMW experience which was the awesome cornering and handling. Now my ride is much softer and mushier.

Regardless live and learn. I can't wait to go back to those bone breaking, teeth chattering, spine shattering Bridgestone Run flats though!
