Tyres... Round 2

[Stompe]

Has anyone changed their Runflat tyres to Non-Run flats....if so did you notice a marked difference? 

Thanks Steve. 🚗

Changed them on a Merc W205. Made a massive difference to the noise in the cabin and ride quality too. The runflats were very jittery

I've read that some UX owners have found the Dunlop runflats to be much quieter than Bridgestones. Blackcircles.com gives noise and other data for most makes of tyre.

I test drove a UX with 17 inch non run flats and it was a lot quieter than the 18 inch run flats I got due to the dealers information sheet being out of date when I ordered the car - but hey I got a free upgrade. I am considering getting the tyres rotated at the service so they wear evenly and I can buy 4 non run flats at the same time when needed. If I replace all 4 can I put 17 inch tyres on instead of 18 inch?

@Gorb Rotating tyres can be a problem with tyre pressure monitoring systems when the sensors are for specific wheel positions.
