Runflats a must replace item in the 335i?

What do you guys who already have your 335i's think about the runflats? Are they as grippy as something like Pilot Sports?

Had Pilot Sports on my 2003 G35 coupe. So far I've got no complaints about the RFTs on my 335i. They even seem quieter.

About 400 miles on them so far and no issues with grip. Seem about the same as I remember my conventional Potenza 040s.

I like them, not as harsh as some people have made them out to be. I do feel the road more than I'm used to, though I kind of attribute that to the Sports Package. I'm not sure how much quieter it'd get with non-RFTs but currently it's not bad at all.
