2022 LC, with sport package thus have 21" wheels and the tires are runflat Dunlops. Thinking about getting some nice after market wheels, and just go back to 20" rims as the selection is bigger and bigger selection of tires in the 20" category. Goin to go to non run flats. The tires I have seem fine and they are quiet but super expensive. Guessing the run flats don't last as long anyways.
The car comes standard with 20", so there should be no issue with going back to that, correct??

Curiously, 20 and 21 inch fronts are exactly the same overall diameters. Still, at least I now know why the 21 inch look so weedy in the wheel well says he with 20 inch wheels

I've had my LC for about a month now and the ride isn't as smooth as I was hoping it would be. It has the Michelin RF's on 21" rims. This is the first car I've ever driven with RF's and I'm not sure if the ride quality is being compromised with this type of tire. I've read that some of you have switched over to conventional tires. Have you really noticed much of a difference after the change?

Enzo - RF ,low aspect ratio tires seem the antithesis of the LC500 concept. Suggest you consider switching to 20" rims with a conventional aspect ratio tire. Tire Rack is a great research tool for such plans. Consider a high quality "Grand Touring" tire instead of the Ultra high performance summer tires? Much depends on your driving style.
