I wonder how do you feel with winter RFT? Do you have the same problems like many with summer tires? How do they handle in snow compared to non-runflat winter tires? In paricular if anybody has winter Dunlops 17' RFT which are offered by BMW as OEM winter set...

If I compare my 17 inch winter Dunlop runflats with the 18 inch summer tires, they are equally hard. In particular in the morning, when its cold, the entire car shudders and vibrates for a couple of minutes. They are great on the freeway (no vibrations at all) and ok in the snow.
