17" type 138 style wheels with bridgestone potenza runflats
20" hamann race edition forge replicas with achilles sports
and currently 18" 124 style wheels with dunlop sport max
i must say the potenza runflats arent so smooth, they were nearly as bad as the achilles ones (cheapest of the cheapest tyres, nasty stuff!)
the ones i have now from dunlop (not runflat) are pretty good and must be the best so far.
my next change would probably be pirellis, i heard theyre one of the best (expensive too)
