Have not owned run flats but test drove E60 and E90 with RF. Vote NO for me. Road feel was too harsh, affected performance IMO. Glad I don't have them on my 530.

The only people who sing the praises of run flats are the guys who have not tried both on their cars.

I may start a poll to ask 'Who has tried proper tyres and gone back to run flats?' But it isn't worth the effort, we all know the answer!
