Similar to other 'poor ride' reviews.
Great for billiard tables, not so good for UK roads.
MSport set up and virtually rigid side walls on the run flats makes the car very skittish, stepping out on the slightest bump.
Driving style has to be more attentive to the road surface than the actual drive itself.
Run flats on 19" rims is a definite NO. My experience peaked when one of the wheels developed several cracks, a common problem.
As a 'moderate' driver, I didn't appreciate the harshness of the ride, it's a no compromise option and not for the faint hearted.
I took this as the time to swap, I bought a set of 18" rims on regular tyres (which I'll review after a few miles).
The car is a different beast, rides better, smoother, quieter and I can now enjoy the ride.
