The oem kit is a nice solution too.
As an aside the PS4s tyres provide almost a blanket of insulation from the poor roads in Ireland.
I wish I hadn't wasted over a year on the runflats.

Jay I'm having the same issue in ireland on same wheels using Bridgestone re50 run flats, ride is horrible crashing and shaking on anything but a motorway. Juts feels unstable even around town when driving relatively slow. Did you have similar issues and how much better is the ride now. Have a set of Hankook s1 EVO 3 non RFT on the way. Hope it makes a difference or the car will be traded away in under a year as can't live with this unstable feeling.
What size rear tyres did you install?

I was looking at 255 and 285 but i think 8j and 9j wheel width may have made it on the limit
So in the end I went for 245/35/20 and 275/30/20
Aside form the the normal benefit of having fresh tyres.
It's feels and rides like different car.
If you cross over a cats eye it's barely noticeable now
Whereas it felt like a mini bomb had gone off on the Goodyear MOE rft.[/QUOTE]
I had the two Hankook Ventus S1 EVO3 non RFT tyres installed today on the rear and waiting on front tyres next week.
The ride is massively improved no more crashy ride over smooth but uneven surfaces and way quieter...Those Bridgestone RE50s were junk.
Will be even better with the front ones done.
Used same sizes as you mentioned.
Now if I can figure out the slight wobble I feel sometimes when accelerating around corners and coming off acceleration I will be keeping the car.
It's minor but something is slightly off have rear arms and a Guibo to install next hopefully that sorts it once and for all.
