How are your tires and suspension holding up on some of HK's bad roads?

Just wondering how your tires and suspension are holding up on some of HK's bad roads. I drive mostly on the relatively smooth highways through the New Territories, so I managed to avoid some of the really bad and potholed roads in the city. But I've also driven through the mid-levels on Robinson and Conduit road and those roads are really bad, full of cracks and nasty bumps. And especially with the run-flat, that must be a pretty harsh ride, how do you guys manage driving through that on a daily basis?

Tires had to be replaced recently on my parents' late 07 (basically 08) E93. It was in for something and then BMW said that the tires needed to be replaced...no idea why, but yeah. No idea about the suspension but it feels pretty much the same as when new.

I've blown 4 tires in 2 years, it's insane

Yeah my tire got puncture twice already this year. I wish they could smooth out some of the roads in the city.
