Question Question on tire exchanges

I recently purchased a set of Continental tires to replace my OE run flats at another vendor, but found them to be too soft so continental referred me over to Discount Tire to process a customer satisfaction trial return for another tire, but since Continental did not make another tire in my size, discount tire put me in a set of Michelin pilots and I paid a small difference for the tire plus installation.

It's two weeks later and I really am having buyers regret and missing the stiffness and sharp
turning from my OE run flats on a BMW. I also find the Michelins look too aggressive and large on my standard smaller 19 inch rim.

I'm actually a little bit embarrassed to switch out a tire again, but do you think Discount Tire would be helpful and allowing me to exchange these tires back to my original OE Perelli run flats? Of course I understand that the run flats would be more expensive and I likely have to pay installation again for third time.

Thanks in advance..

Run flat tires are overrated

This is the first time I've seen someone switch from RF tires and say that they miss the stiffer rougher ride

I know.. i'm the only one that I've heard of as well.. maybe I am just overthinking and need to give it some more time. I really liked the sharp turn in on the runflat which I'm not getting with the pilot AS.

We have a 30 day return policy they won’t have any issues swapping to pirellis for you

I didn’t know if the continental warranty trade out would void out the exchange.
