I like em on my BMW 1 series.. Turanza
I don't like low profile tires on my cars because i don't like slowing down for speed bumps
and run fast on farm roads and what not.
Hate worrying bout curb rash when parking

So 16 inch with higher profile tires, normally you get more lateral movement in the turns
Not so with Run flats. it's a more rigid sidewall, so they behave more like lower profile tires.

obviously if you do that on a wheel that needs low profile tires... it's just double up and then the ride is terribly hard..
