Regarding the X3M - I have about 9 months and 6k miles or so dailying mine. It is firm but I don't believe it's as punishing as most reviews mention. The thing is a monster man. I don't know why anyone would need anything more in a daily. It handles easily as good as my RS3 did and maybe even less body roll despite being much higher CoG and the RS3 didn't roll much either. It feels direct and definitely feels rear driven.

Pros: handles easily, feels rear driven
Cons: consumables, worse mileage
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 9656 km

Before I switched I had 4 sidewall tears, one bent wheel, and one cracked wheel. $3000 in damage. After I switched, zero issues a year and a half later. Smoother ride and less road noise too.

Pros: smoother ride, less noise
Cons: sidewall tears, bent wheel

Hiflys will be fine

I sell a fair bit of them, only complaint I get from customers is they get a little noisey toward the end of their life. But they do their job and do them well enough

Pros: do their job
Cons: get a little noisey

As others mentioned, run-flats are more suspectable to sidewall damage. They're also heavier and noisier. Also, you may have a wider selection of tires if you go with non-runflat.

Pros: wider tire selection
Cons: sidewall damage, heavier

I got the wheel and tire warranty when I bought my car. They’ve already replaced 4 run flats for free. I got 2 blowouts in the last 2 weeks hitting pretty average sized potholes that I’ve never had issues before with. Run flats suck.

Pros: warranty replaced run flats
Cons: blowouts, run flats suck

It was a commonly traversed dirt road, a little soggy after a rain storm and I backed my dad\u2019s brand new 2008 335i into a small mud depression with the right rear only. Result? Absolutely dead immobile

Cons: dead immobile
