Exclamation Dunlop run flat tires

i am somewhat broke and in dire need for tires. i found a used tires place that has a set of 4 245/40/18 dunlop sport runflat tires. (almost impossible to find 4 matching tires at a used shop).

i have a lowered ride and it is balance tuned so my ride is kinda harsh. my concern is i believe these runflat tires gonna make my ride even more bumpy and loud than it already is.

i need your knowlede!!!

I'd pass on them as RFT's aren't a good replacement for regular tires and you are correct that with the stiff sidewalls of the RFT it will increase the harshness of the ride. From the factory, cars with the RFT's have the suspension "tuned" for that tire.

Take a look:

Never used any of these tires, but looks like the price is right.
