I have those and also the sport suspension. I didn't find the ride too harsh myself, but that is a subjective opinion! I did find however, that when I switched to 16" rims for the winter (with non-runflats) the ride was MUCH smoother.

I did not specify Sports Suspension as I heard it made the ride too harsh with 17" Runflats. I have since learned that Sports Suspension provides slightly thicker Anti-Roll bars, but the shock absorber springs are as per Standard

I did try 38 psi which was OK on good surfaces but on some of the rural roads in the UK my teeth almost fell out

Hence me using 35 psi.
