I can hear and feel every single bump, crack, dip, and slit on the road; even just cruising at speed on the highway. Living in a nice part of Florida, our roads aren't even that bad. I can feel just about every pebble even on smooth roads. It's starting to drive me nuts. I've driven my fair share of sports cars over the years, even with aggressively modified suspensions. There's just no way this car was designed to be THIS uncomfortable and noisy. It's making simple daily driving duties an annoyance.

The first obvious culprit are these run-flats, which I hate by default because well, run-flats.

The second thing, I'm starting to regret not getting the magnetic ride suspension; surely that would make a difference?

Am I being unfair here? Does the car need more time to settle? I planned on keeping the run flats until the rear went but now I'm just considering going for the nuclear option and replacing them right now. Does anyone have recommendations or can talk about the impact going from the runflats to non-RF?

[Should've got the magnetic ride, but I know that's not helpful at this point.]

I say ditch the runflats right now and get some good tires with softer sidewalls, you could even go up one size (255/40/20 front and 285/35/20 rear) for a bit more sidewall. I'm running Michelin PS4S tires, but it's definitely not the only choice. This will be a massive improvement over stock. Wifey never complains, we just did a 1000-mile roadtrip and she was pretty happy with the ride.

With that said, the car will never ride like an SUV or a luxury sedan, you will still sense the bumps, but they won't be overly uncomfortable.
