Hey there, I wanna report on my tire swap. I'm running 19" squared. My m40i has less than 200mi on it but I just couldn't bare the Bridgestone Daulers Runflats anymore. Mostly cause they're runflats. So I looked at it like an option upgrade and had them swapped out today for 19" Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ NRF. Boy, does it make a big difference. I mean these tires aren't even broken-in yet and on normal roads, they ride softer, maybe a subjective 25%. But the real difference is on shittier roads, the car rides over bumps. Soaks em up. Where it used to kinda jump em. When turning on a ruddy surface, it holds firm and feels solid where it used to skip a bit. When pushed, the handling is substantially better with the M PSAS+. It sits down. Steering feels really precise and surefooted... and lots more fun. A proper match with the m40i suspension imo. Just wanted to give my experience -- if any of you are thinking of swapping out your runflats, do it, you will not be disappointed. You'll just say "I should've done this sooner!" Thanks for reading.

PS: My next project: Parts are on order to make a BMW space saving spare rather than buy an aftermarket because it has a smaller footprint. I've measured the space under the trunk and with a little ingenuity and rigging I'll be able to keep it there without losing cargo space! But that's for another thread.
