Ride Request if Possible in an E9x without Runflats

Gtrain · 07-18-2008, 05:52 PM

I was wondering if anyone who goes to the Bestbuy Meets in Westbury with non runflats and is on stock suspension would let me sit in the car to test the ride comfort.

The reasoning is everyday I drive the GCP/NSP to work and where they repaved with tar, the bumps are so harsh. The bumps are worse if I have more than 1 person in the car. Especially right after the Clearview Exit going Westbound.

I just want to see if it's worth going with aftermarket rims with non runflats.
Thinking CSL's (not sure 18's or 19's) with Michelin's.

Thanks in advance.

going with non-runflats will most definitely give you a WAY smoother ride. Runflats suck ass!!

Well that is obvious because now you actually have air between the car and the road, in the tires
