i personally dont like runflat tires as they run stiff and not much give.

the diameter difference is probably not enough to cause problem, but the grip could be different enough for spirited driving.
I agree with this part, but I also bet the corner that has the run flat will take more of a suspension beating because the tire doesn't give.

IMO, and I am in no way a tire expert (ChrisChhorn IS,) but if you're JUST streeting it, no problem, some spirited driving, be a bit more careful, unless your spirited driving is a mountain run... Then I wouldn't experiment...
