MCS - Pirelli, Eufori run flats - flat spotting - vibration

I could not find a similar post.

Has anyone else experienced flat spotting with these tires? For the first couple miles, my car shakes pretty badly. The tires have been confirmed as flat spotting by a local tire dealer and the MINI dealer. It occurs most in temperatures under 50 degrees F and when the car is left over night. It is most severe when I drive home on the highway and park the car with warm tires.

Are there other 17" run flats available?

Thanks,

Shaken
