I was right. It was those shitty Continental run-flats.

Car rides MUCH quieter, and smoother over bumps. Not just "a little"... it's a NOTICEABLE difference.

I'm not sure I'll ever put those Contis back on the car.

Anyway..... new shoes;
Pirelli Scorpion 275/40/21 front
Pirelli Scorpion 315/35/21 rear
(Stock size.... MUCH better than stock ride)

I think they even "look" a few mm wider, so I'm even happy with the appearance.
how much is it to swap out the tires?
