Some flats are better than others
I had a 2011 Countryman S before my present 2014 X1 with 19" wheels. The Mini's 18" run flats were indeed harsh. So after about 27k miles, I replaced them with a set of Goodyear Primacy tires. The difference was noticeable after traveling a whopping 50 feet. So, when the Mini's lease was up, I was reluctant to go with them on the X1. My sales guy said to give them a chance to please.
Now, after about 6100 miles, I find them without any issues. I opted for the tire and wheel coverage, and after 3000 miles got a huge piece of metal into the tread of one of them. The $50 deductible on the coverage was a welcome expense for the $488 cost of the new tire.
