Ditched the 20" Run Flats. Wow what a difference!!!

I have factory 20” wheels with the OEM Dunlop Run Flats on my 2015 535u M Sport. . I was having sidewall bubble issues on my fronts and after 3 tires I decided to get a full set of non runflats and a flat kit for the trunk like Porsches come with. I got a set of Hankook Ventus V12 20” in the factory sizes because I have had them on other cars and they are a good balance between ongort, performance amd value. Wow! This car is so quiet and smooth!!!! I always tjough the rough ess was due to the M Sport suspension. Nope. This car is night and day different. Quiet, smooth, comfortable handles great. Runflats suck. Lol.
