I don't know about u but my 16" rims were not on run-flats. Changing from 16" non-rft to 17" rft will affect your ride comfort, cause more noise, vibrations (at least in my case, and cannot be balanced out) and at the same time affect your fuel economy. Those rft are HEAVY. And till today my mechanic is still complaining that my tyres are like 4 pieces of solid wood. However, I have the dreaded Dunlops, maybe if you get the newer generation of rft, they might be better. I can't wait for the rft to wear out.... and change.</blockquote>
