I find the new run flat tires nearly indistinguishable from non-run flats. Far better tires than 5 or 6 years ago when BMW starting putting them on the 3-series.

That said, the Michelin PSS tires are better than the Pirelli P7 Cinturato All-Season tires I have on my 328i, no doubt, but I'd have to change them out in the brief winter we have here in Big D. Still considering doing just that, though.
