Run flat vs non run flat 20”
I have a 20” M 405 wheel package with run flats. Has anybody swapped out their 20” run flats for 20” non run flats? Was it worth the money? Was it appreciably quieter ? It is my wife’s car so performance Is measured by quiet..
Thanks for all opinions.

I swapped my 18" RFT for 20" non RFT and the difference was startling. Much softer and quieter. I thought all my rattles and squeaks were the norm cause I have a convertible. Really the problem was the RFT's. They suck.

Much more quiet and much better handling. However, you need to have a emergency solution in case of a flat tire. I went for the BMW Mobility Set 71102333674. (never had to use it ) The only reason to go back to a RFT setup would be the "safety" of being able to drive a few miles with a flat tire. (No need to stop in the middle of nowhere. Especially when my wife has the car.)

I don't understand how some can ride 20" with runflats. Risking chipped tooth.

OK...you guys have me convinced...I will order a set of 20" Pilot Sport 4S...and put the run flats on the mart for sale. The tire guy says the slightly larger side wall will fill the gap a hair and maybe make the car look a little less on stilts which was bugging me too.
