Hi Hans

Even with the Adaptive Drive and 21’’ 128 rims, the ride remains harsh? Do you know of any other tyre company that offers non run flat tyres for the 21’’ rims?

Kind Regards

The suspension is not the issue, it's the tires. I tried almost every pressure setting on the tires, and they offer a constant discomfort. And when going over bumpy roads, I feel the car absorbing these bumps very smoothly, but when going over straight (flat) roads with rough concrete surfaces, I feel every wrinkle, so the tires are the culprit.

Dunlop makes exactly the same tires as I have now (oem ones), but without the runflat 'additions'. They are cheaper too and weigh less !
