Just mounted new wheels and tires: MSR 17"x7.5" with Goodyear 215/45 F1s. The ride, noise and handling is dramatically improved due to change from runflats. Amazing.

Aloha and welcome to MCO,
Yes, you've done a good thing. How long did you have the runflats? Sounds like you have an MCS with S-lytes.
Now take your car to driving school or autocross and see what the tires can do. the Goodyear Eagle F-1 DS-G3s are supposed to be very good.

Now how about posting some pictures of your baby with new shoes?
