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.
