Chalk me up as yet another person who can't believe he waited so long to ditch the run-flat tires. My girlfriend, who is admittedly not a huge fan of my 09 JCW due to its harsh ride (thanks in part due to being lowered and the roads in Vegas are terrible) noticed the difference.
The ride quality is much improved, but the real improvement is in the road noise and grip. The road noise is so reduced that now I can hear squeaks and rattles I couldn't hear before.
Anyway, I put on some 215/45R17 Bridgestone Potenza R760 Sports. So far I am very pleased with how they ride.
So, if you're uncertain that swapping out the run-flats will make a substantial difference, IT WILL.
