Replacing RunFlats with Non RunFlats.
Discussion
Hi all, as the title suggests i'm looking for advice.
I own a BMW 123d M Sport Coupe with the optional 18's. Currently it has runflats, but i was considering replacing them with non-runflat tyres next time. I've heard that this could be a bad idea. Has anyone on here moved away from runflat tyres in a 1 series or 3 series?
What was the affect on handling and the ride? Is it worth it? Thanks in advance.

There are loads of reports online of it not being a good idea. Auto Express did a tyre test and the non run flats on their bmw 3 series did alot worse in braking tests than the run flats. Plus there are loads of others. Here are some examples.
