Going from 16"'s to 17"'s

Hello everyone!

I Bought a 2011 Cooper S Hardtop a couple weeks ago. It has 16" rims with run flats. I plan on getting rid of the run flats and moving up to a 17" rim.

Will non-run flats on 17" rims be a less harsh ride compared to run flats on the 16"? If not I might just keep the 16"'s and change the tires.

Thanks

It's the tire not the tire size.
Run flats are very harsh ride, very noisey also.
Keep the 16's and just get tires.
