I drove a 35i with 17" runflats and it was not too bad, but mine has 19" 296's with non RF Falken Azenis 453's and its pretty good, definitely a more comfy ride than my S2000

(18") RFTs spoil the 35is.

This is a real pity, because there must be many 35is owners who never discover how good the car can be.

It is yes Buster, quite true, but if non run flats are not practical, or someone isn’t that bothered about how much of a difference they are, the run flats really aren’t too bad, certainly they suit the E89 more than the E85.

I'm using MPS4S now, after using MPSS (bad choice - due to inflexibility of the tyre)

The MPS4S are the best tyre I've ever used - just fantastic in every way, transformed the car

Kuh. Imagine what journalists and the market would have made of the E89 if it had been on normal tyres. RFTs did so much damage to it, one way and the other. And for what? To save the weight of a 'space-saver'. Kuh, again.

100% agree with this...I’ve no doubt it’s had a kicking because of the run flats alone. Even though they’re not bad on them, they’re sooooo much better on non flats, what a 42 carat chuff up.

Another one for the ok on the 35is ! They weren’t that bad on the 3.0 with M suspension pack either !
