Yep I have been running style 124 with PS2 for about 6 months now. Best thing I ever did was to ditch the runflats. Even going from 17 inch wheels up to 18 inch the ride is so much better and the handling fantastic with better turn in to corners.
You won't regret it at all.
An extra bonus is that I only managed 14000 miles on the runflats and I am now on 10000 miles with the PS2 with loads of tread left

Best bit of all was that Michelin were running a 4 for the price of 3 deal at the time....what a result

Drool! My Dunlops feel like they're understeering big-time! :thumbsdown: There's no grip at the front it's a joke! Less than 15k miles...

I'm looking forward to the PS2's even more now!!!

The guy at the garage yesterday pointed out his 19" wheels on an E60 and that everyone who had borrowed it said how good the ride was... He said they were runflats - I pointed out that they weren't and that's why his ride had improved so much!!! (They were continental's - like the M5) Tempting at ?1,800 for wheels and alloys but not staggered setup...

He also said the Dunlops were quite soft-rubber - my reply was rather unkind
