New tires- nice
I just wanted to thank the guys on this forum for suggesting the runflats were really the major source of "The Big Bang" on hitting small potholes, recessed manhole covers etc. They were right.
The main reason I swapped out my POS 18" runflat summer tires for Yokohama Advan S4s was snow- they are night and day difference in the snow. I was trying to get by without changing out the RFT in the CT snow but that was not smart.
The side benefit of installing the Yokos was that the car rides noticeably smoother over bumps, particularly those that I know cause the big bang from driving by them every day on the way to work.
No more big bangs since installing them a week ago. So far the car is behaving like a luxury sport sedan should be. I'm still amazed OEMs put these POS RFTs on new cars- it's a crime! (maybe ok on SUVs with big sidewalls but not on cars with 17 or 18" wheels).
