Initial impressions are a little mixed. First, I love the look; second, the Continentals handle incredible compared to the stock Pirelli run-flats. The flip side is that I expected a more compliant ride along with the better handling ... definitely not the case so far. I dropped pressures to 35 psi all-around and that helped, but the ride is still pretty harsh ... and that is with DDC in standard mode.

I know ... I bought a MINI JCW ... not a limo.
