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.

Sorry if you've mentioned this previously, but did you also get the space saver spare?
I'm considering replacing the run-flats on mine with non runflats, probably the same tires as yours, but don't have a spare tire.
