I understand that most will say that Non Run Flats are the best tyres. However for someone new who is investing in new wheels and tyres. Whats the best combinations for noise, comfort and performance.
I've even heard some people say that a 17" run flat is better than a 21" non run flat etc.
I would be interested to hear unbiased views of people who have tried a few combinations.

Going from run-flats to non-RFs the difference is night and day! (This is on staggered 18's)

19" non-runflats are generally quite good but 20" starts to firm things up a little! Personally I think 19" non-RFs is the best compromise...
