Lets not confuse performance tires with run flats. It just so happens in OEM sizes our choice comes down to a summer/winter RFT setup or an all season non-RFT setup.

I'll agree that they are not noisy when new, but as soon as my tires get to about 5mm of tread, they start to drone. This has to be because of the necessarily stiff sidewall.

If there was a non-run-flat performance/winter option then swapping wheels would have more appeal to me especially if I had an M. But as soon as I find someone to sell me their gorgeous Style 300M rims, I'm going to slap some pedestrian DWS rubber on them, get rid of the unimpressive Dunlop SportMaxx's and sail happily into acceptable all season grip.
