I ditched runflats on around 14000 miles, and have now done 108000 miles, the whole of that mileage on MPSS and then most recently on a set of MPS4S. Over winters I've been using non run flat Pilot Alpins.

I've not had any issues of any kind until very recently. On changing back to my summer tyres I noticed that one of my summer rears (MPS4S) has abnormal inner edge wear, yet the winter tyre that came off did not.

I did do one track day on that set of tyres last year, so wondering if that caused it, but that never caused me any issues on the MPSS sets I used, so I am booked to get the alignment checked on Friday to be sure. I have also noticed a slight vibration on that set of tyres now, so checking the wheel balance too.

A bit of a bizarre one if I'm honest, but who knows, maybe it's a thing with the MPS4S... or certainly when you're remapped, running quite low on coilovers, and 15mm spacers at the rear too.

If so then I'd go back to MPSS though, as they were great too, and I would never go back to runflats on that car.
