I made the swap from run flats to non-run flats at the same time I upgraded my wheels from 18” to 19”. I went with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrical 5s and the difference it made to handling and ride comfort was staggering. I highly recommend them as a lower cost alternative to PS4S.

Only watching that video last night.
On 3's at moment, 5's next or 6?, they seem to be lasting well at moment.
