    Oil turning dark in a very short time is normal. Darkness can't be used as an indicator of the oil or engine condition. You need to have the oil analyzed if you want to know.

    Wow, I swapped my stock RE050a tires out for Hankook Ventus V12s in the first 3k miles and found it to be nearly a night and day difference. It's not even close in my opinion. I think those run flats would have made me hate the car by now. I'll probably sell them when I have a chance.

    It may vary with the brand of run flat, but my Continental run flats feel like any other tire I've had on a car.
