BMW runflats

    Hi
    Looking for some tyre advice from any BMW RUNFLAT user or former user!
    I have an e90 330d auto which has always been fitted with Bridgestone potenza RUNFLATS which I find very good in the wet or dry but the road noise is really awful. Could any one suggest a premium brand non run flat tyre that would have similar wet/dry grip qualities of the Bridgestone but would hopefully be much quieter ?
    Many thanks
    Stop clocking

    I had P-Zero Rosso's on my 525 before I got Hankooks V12 Evo's, very good in the wet and dry and very quiet, they were about €150 a corner for 255/40/17. Mind you, I find the Hankooks just as quiet but a small bit worse on grip.

    I'd 100% ditch the run flats and especially those bridgestones they're awful, had them removed from my 330d a few years back and replaced with michelin ps3 and I have to say the difference is night and day, last year I replaced the rears with Goodyear eagle f1 assymmetric equally as good if not better!

    I had the Bridgestone RFT's on my 335i when I got it. Swapped to Goodyear Eagle F1's and have renewed with the same each time front and rear. Don't think I'll ever go near another tyre again as I love them.

    Only replaced mine with Continental Sports Contact 5s, plenty of grip in any weather. They do feel better over rough ground and better in corners but i did not find a dramatic improvement in comfort as some have found.
