Dear F10 5 Series owners,

Please share your experience regarding your vehicle ride comfort. Particularly, please tell us how well the car absorbs road imperfections and also what kind of tires it has (RF or non RF) as well as wheel size (18-inch, 19-inch, etc).

Thank you for your information

Guessing that the Armenian roads are not that good, I would go for 18" RF's.

I have the 19" staggered width Michelin Primacy HP" that is one of the OEM tires fitted to the F10 with M Sport or Sport package.
Rides relatively quiet and comfortable FOR a 19" RFT tire. Again, I emphasize FOR a performance 19" RFT tire, and I am overall satisfied.
I have non-run flat 18" Bridgestone Serenitys (specifically designed for ride/noise/comfort) on my 2008 E60 w sport package and they ARE a little better (though not radically) for ride/noise/comfort.
