I bought the BFGs and put them on new wheels (OZ Forgiatta) They look and ride great. About same noise as with the all season run flats. The balance weights on one of them came off during shipping so I had to have them rebalanced. Much happier. Had shake at 70mph. had to either go faster or slower. (Guess which I did!)

I will continue to run the S-Lite Wheels and run flat snow tires in the winter.

Bought them from Tire Rack, and also purchased a small cigarette powered compressor that has fix a flat type of goo built in. Hope I never need it.

The tires are sticky. And the lighter wheels are noticible.
