Hi everyone. Does anyone have experience with the 20s or 21s rims without run-flat tires?
My X5 is without air suspension and I live in Ukraine - which means the roads are really bad(. Currently, I am on 21s run-flat and I don’t like ride comfort so I am thinking of changing to 20s none-run-flat or staying on 21s only changing tires to none-run-flat. 21s - I like them more because of their look but not sure if changing to none run-flat tires will improve the comfort that much compared to 20s. Just wanted to get some feedback if some of you have changed tires like these. Thank you.

I went from 21 RFT (P Zero) to 21 non-RFT (P Zero) to 22 non-RFT (Continental)

21 non-RFT was noticeably more comfortabte than RFT. Even the 22 non-RFT is more comfortable than the 21 RFT were.

I am on air suspension, but ultimately the difference between the tyres will remain, no matter what suspension you are on.

Thank you! So I just swapped my 21s runflat with 21s none runflat and it feels awesome. So I can recommend getting rid of run-flats)

Do you mind sharing what non-rft tires you ended up getting and in what sizes/specs? Was it the same as the original 275/40/21 - 315/35/21 ?

What do people run for non RFT 21" ?

I have the 22 non run flats on my 2022 x5 . I am trying to figure out if it’s tire set up or just a odd set up on suspension I find it to be maybe to soft and a lot of body rocking back and forth when driving over Uneven surfaces not sure I like the x5 ride quality.
