  1. It will be expensive,  i now have 4 x Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 runflats on my UX f-sport, these cost £322 for two tyres (you should really have the same 2 tyres on the same axle)

    These are quieter, grippier (in the dry and especially in the wet) and ard proven to be the cheapest cost based on mileage.

    Do your research, and plan accordingly

  2. If the car only comes with runflats (ie. no option for non runflats) then the car suspension has been designed specifically for runflat tyres (with stiffer sidewalls)

    If you use non runflat tyres, you are making a change to the car safety (eg. The car will no longer safely tolerate a blowout, it may have different handling characteristics)

    If you change all 4 tyres to non runflats with identical specs, you are probably fine. However I recommend checking with your insurance company for piece of mind. 

    You don't want to prang your car due to a blow out only to subsequently find out that you invalidated your insurance by replacing tyres (that arent offered as standard)
