Just replaced my 18" Sport Package run flats with Michelin Pilot Sport AS Plus - LOVE Them.
Considered the Conti DWS's based on positive feedback here and elsewhere, but found them very noisy when I put them on my daughter's Scion TC in the fall (17")

Just found out that Pirelli P Zero Nero tires have been discontinued. I put two new ones on the rear back in January...wife damage one and now I can't replace it! Crap! Pirelli P6 replaces it apparantly. Did I say crap already?

Rondel just had a write up on the new Pilot Super Sport and they are supposed to be much better for these cars. higher tread ware(220 vs 300) and they are supposed to have a different compound in the inside treads to reduce the wearing out due to the camber in the BMW.
