Or maybe the engineers in M division, since they still spec non-runflats on all M cars ?.....
Absolutely. There was a distinct and improved difference when I dumped the Pirelli run flats that were OEM and I went with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. I tend to drive with some spirit when conditions allow, and I've always sided with conventional A/S or performance tires over the hard and unresponsive run flats. A daily driver to some won't make a difference, but to those of us with experience and skill, it makes a world of difference, especially when you're pushing the limits of the car. I saw drastic improvements in wet conditions alone when I mad the swap.
