For those of you that have changed to these tires, do they give a smoother ride versus the run-flats. I think the run-flats are causing alot of rattles in my car. These run-flats are garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!

I changed over 2 weeks ago and the ride is much improved. No skipping, jarring bumps and no rattles.

I have had mine a couple months. They are a big improvement over the run- flats. Smooth ride, little noise and a very good grip. I would not go back to run-flats. I am very satisfied with the ps2's.

I like my PS2's very well. My original set caused a vibration from 65 mph up on very smooth roads. I bought them through my dealer--which replaced them as soon as all else failed to remedy the problem. But, note that I also like my RFT's--which have very few miles on them. I put my original wheels/RFTs back on for trips. My experience, even with my new PS2's implies that one may feel high-speed vibrations a bit more with PS2's, in comparison to newish original RFT's, if larger wheels and, thus, lower profile PS2's are installed. Still, my new PS2's cured 96.3% of the problem with my originals.

I like my RFT's. :-)
I will most likely try non-RFT's one this set wears out.

PS2s are great, but I think the dealer would overcharge for a simple mounting and balancing. Unless you have expensive aftermarket wheels, I'd take it elsewhere.
