Swapped run flats for Unis. Wow!

Swapped my run flats for a set of rain sport 3s. Rears needed replacing and Tyres on the Drive wanted £400 to replace all four with standard sizes.
I've read that it would be improvement but wow. Car is so much better. Steering has more feel and the adaptive suspension now feels as though it's adapting!
Car feels more planted and rough surfaces aren't unsettling the suspension when pushing on. Also, there's less road noise. All in all the car feels so much better I really can't think of a better £ for £ mod you could do to an e89. Rain sports seem excellent and hopefully today's run out with Andy will have scrubbed them in.

Good to read John - interesting that the improvement still stands for the E89 even on newer runflats

Excellent, sounds cracking sammyz.

Bodes well, I'll be fitting some just scrubbed in MPSS in two weeks, looking forward to it, especially after your post.

I think you'll be pleased with the result especially on MPSS

I upgraded my wheels to 19" with Uniroyal rainsport 3s, they are fantastic tyres, very grippy but sidewalls are soft and pressing on you can feel this. I increased the pressures slightly and they are much better.
