Tires OEM BMW or OEM Honda
Swapped my wifes Z4 from runflats to normal.
Pros: better ride, less likely to crack rims, cheaper tyres.
Cons: no spare tyre.
Pros: better ride, cheaper tyres
Cons: no spare tyre

Before I switched I had 4 sidewall tears, one bent wheel, and one cracked wheel. $3000 in damage. After I switched, zero issues a year and a half later. Smoother ride and less road noise too.
Pros: smoother ride, less noise
Cons: sidewall tears, bent wheel
Vehicle:
BMW
For better handling and winter traction, I would consider getting wider tires.
Pros: better handling
Cons: winter traction
Vehicle:
Toyota
HD thrust arms are an improvement without too much sacrifice. Better shocks as well. I’ve found tires make a huge difference with the E39.
Pros: huge difference with tires
Vehicle:
BMW
Narrow, low-profile tires aren't as forgiving over potholes, especially when riding on the 20" wheels.
Cons: not forgiving over potholes
Vehicle:
BMW
I have a 2005 with just over 75k miles. Bought 5 years ago with 19k miles. I'm averaging 19.64 mpg. Most expensive repair have been 4 new tires after 50k miles.
Pros: repairs are cheap
Cons: mpg go down

Honda Element
Mileage: 120700 km
Those stock tires will give you grief, they give your steering a little annoying dance the closer you hit 170kmph/100mph. Work through those tires. Swapping to something else will almost completely get rid of the wobble.
Cons: steering annoying dance, wobble
Vehicle:
Honda
Finally, check your tire date codes. Tires older than 6 or 7 years are no longer suitable for riding on, as they have lost a lot of their elasticity and therefore grip.
Pros: check date codes
Cons: lost elasticity, lost grip
Vehicle:
Honda
The run flat tires are terrible. They feel like they are made of concrete and the grip is very lacking.
Cons: terrible grip, concrete feel
Vehicle:
BMW
I used to think Honda is great until we had a CRV. It was a piece of crap. It shakes at low speed or highway speed. The dealer was so incompetent and kept asking us to replace tires, wheels all at our own cost but the problem was still there.
Cons: shakes at low speed
Vehicle:
Honda
