It's my first car with run flats, but from what i heard from BMW owners they are not as sticky in dry and also ride is harsher.In addition to the issue of run flat vs. regular + spare, I have found that the all season tires don't match up to the handling ability of the car. I have a Ti with the 19 inch sport package. I'm feeling like I should get a set of high performance summer tires, and high performance winter tires. I've never had a car with run flats. Is that part of the problem, or is it just the fact that they are all season tires? Curious if anyone else agrees with my observation.
If you live where there's snow I wouldn't recommend run flats. They are a lot more slippery in wet weather from my experience and definitely not as sticky as all-season regular tired. I ordered my Ti with the 3 season tires so I'm wondering if I will get a spare or not? I should be getting it in the next month or so, I'll report the results.Has anyone switched a Ti to regular tires yet?
I'm asking because I'm trying to get the runflats traded for regular Michelin Pilot Sport 4S before I take delivery and am wondering what other people's experience has been.
You won't get a spare - there is no place under the trunk liner, just a hole big enough for mobility kit, and that only comes with the Q....

Please keep us updated on what you find out. I want to switch to the PS4Ss myself. Would love to do it thru the dealer - but I will do it either way.Has anyone switched a Ti to regular tires yet?

I'm going this exact route in a few weeks. I'll make sure to post an update once I pit the PS4s on.Has anyone switched a Ti to regular tires yet?

Awesome. Please tell us how MSS are. What size will you be getting? Just a reminder MSS run wide and sidewall is tall.I am upgrading to 19's next week from 18's on my Giulia and I am going with Michelin Super Sports. I see no good reason to keep running run flats from my research.
oh oMy BMW mech insisted on removing run flats to save suspension
done!!If you have the run flats, the spot under the trunk floor where the pump would go is a great place to put the owners manual, which is too big for the glove compartment! #ProblemSolver
