Default Made the Switch to Non Run Flat

I know this subject has been beaten like a dead horse, but holy crap what a better ride it is without those concrete run-flats. I was on the fence for a long time since the run flats have a stiff side wall, so thought I was going to loose handling going with a normal tire. Threw on a set on Michelin Super Sports today and in love all over again...........just sayin
