I need some summer tyres for the S4 and have decided on the Goodyear asymmetrics, mainly due to this forum!
Opting for 255/35/19 but I want run flat which seem to be available but it's got a * in the model name indicating that it's for BMWs. Would it be a problem running these tyres?

runflats are awful, they are noisy hard ard perform poorly, we had pzeros on our mini coupe and they were the worst tyres ive ever had.
runflats are for women who cant change a tyre

Wouldn't the run flats ruin the ride and handling if the car is not designed for them ?
I've got Michelin pilot supersports, very nice.

I've just replaced my original conti 3s with the same again, my local stealer gave me a cracking deal. Mine weren't run flats and I didn't think audi supplied any of its cars with them.

I've just purchased some conti sport 5p, not fitted yet as waiting for the wheels to come back from spit and polish.
