Which is the softer ride?

What combo do you guys think we'll run a little softer?

1) 18" wheels with NON-Run Flats 225/40/18 - 255/35/18

2) 17" wheels with Run-Flats 225/45/17

I would say the 18's with non-RFT.

I just did this on my 335xi and the 18" non-RFT's are softer and handle better...not too mention you can put on cooler rims! It's not night/day but there is a difference.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I really don't wanna have to buy anothor set of wheels. Tires are cheaper. I'm guessing you keep a mobility kit onboard just in case of a flat?

That's correct. I do that myself. I got mine from my dealer. I went from 18" runflats to 19" non-RFTs, and the 19" setup is more comfortable
