No problems for me on 10--runflats or PS2's. I don't drive 10 very much though. Thank goodness.

Hi -
I have a 530i and I drive it to work every day. On interstate 10, when I drive at ~80mph, I could sense the whole vehicle swaying inside the lane. I thought it was due to air pressure in the tires and confirmed they are right..
I've experinced the same thing driving north from San Diego on interstate 5. Never experienced this with my MB CLK320. I figured it was the tires, but it is really annoying.

Would you please provide some more info on your 2006 525i aligament issue? I have a 2006 525i with the aligament problem as well, and have visited the dealer twice trying to fix the problem. They even changed 3 of 4 tires for this car the first time. After 3 month, the problem shows up again. I am considering to request BMW to buy back the car if the problem persists as you described. But how could I get to that point? Would you light me up? Thanks!
We have a2006 525i which the dealer after 5 trys couldn't get the car to go straight if you let go of the wheel the car would go right, right into the next lane. We also had a floating/ fishtailing feel at highway speeds. So after many attemps and different fixes the car was still not right, we asked Bmw to buy the car back. We are in that process right now.

On my first extended highway trip last week, I experienced the same thing. Almost like the car was not as stable as it was at say 60mph? I'm hoping it is because I have my snow tires on. I will find out next month when I take them off and put the OEM Bridgestone runflats back on.

and yes I have active steering.
