I did touch and press down in the middle of those cut up tire profiles. The normal tire was really flimy while the runflat (right side) was very hard/stiff. I will check this coming week at my local BMW dealer... I bet they might have the same runflat tire model.
Thanks David. You hear so many people mentioning what a big difference the normal tires make in the ride\handling of the car that I believe I will be pulling the trigger on some very soon. I picture the RFT's as pretty much solid rubber tires with a shallow air pocket between the tire and rim to give a little compliance. I would be very interested to see what a sectional view looks like if you can find that same display at your local dealer,
