Run-flat tire

[nctan]

Hi,
Any body change their run-flat tire to normal tire? Currently I am driving the new 523 with 17" rim. I find the ride a bit hard. Thinking of changing to normal tire as I believe the side wall will be softer thus giving a more cushion ride.
Any comment? Any comfort wheels to recommed?

Thanks

I did, cos I upgrade the wheel size, runflat just way too expensive for the new wheel size.

I did it on my 525i a while back. Went from 17' rims with RF to 18" 630 style rims and normal tyres.

Much better ride, smoother, quieter. The RF were harsh.

My only problem is if I get a puncture with no spare tyre.

I bought the BMW inflator with liquid sealant just in case, but so far, have not had to use it. Went to KL and back too, so relieved not to get a puncture.
