I'm high on the Falken 452's right now, great tire and excellent price (4x200). Handles great in wet/dry and seem to be wearing no faster than any other brand I've used.

yokohama AS430 non runflats
feels perfect.
I replaced the runflats with a set of Eagle F1's which are great.
So I would totally recommend non runflats for your e60, despite some people thinking you forfeit safety by
using non runflat tyres, gee, however did we get by before the advent of runflats, I don't know.

My vote goes to either Michellin PS2 or Pirelli P-Zero's.

+1 I have PS2 on my Z06 and will go with the P-Zero's next tire change.

I changed out my 545i sport factory run flats for Pirelli Zero nero two months ago and hated the Pirellis. I couldn't tell the difference from the run flats. They were noisy and harsh. So I went back to discount tires and exchanged them for Yokohama S Drives. The Yokohamas are perfect. They're quiet, sticky and very good looking, the cost was $880 installed for four
