Going from Dunlop SP 01 run flat to Michelin Pilot Sports A/S...
Handling, ride, stability, road noise GREATLY improved. I found the run flats to be horrible tires. The sidewalls maybe stronger but I thought the grip sucked. Highway stability improved two fold. The run flats tramlined horribly. The car would dive into the next lane when changing lanes, I though the car's front end was crap until I changed the tires.
The tire change made a huge improvement in all aspects of how the car drives.

So, we can reuse wheels for regular tires?
I thought I saw somewhere saying RFTs have special wheels and these wheels are only for RFTs...
