Well here's another vote for the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.
I have 19 " and the grip is great, low noise , no trameling, smooth ride , and greta wet traction.

I was worried about how 19" 's would ride, and honesty I feel no differant then the All Season 17"
Conti's I had on.

The Pilot Sport A/S tires are awesome. You'll love them and the guy at that shop obviously never drove a BMW on these Michelin's. Ask him what kind of car he drives and that should answer your question.

Hi jdgoodma and welcome.? Michelin makes fantastic tyres.? Don't worry about non-run flats, etc.? Just ensure you have a spare in your trunk; oh, don't forget to get a set of tools for tyre changing.

My 2005 530 Sport (with Runflats) came with a donut spare. I wasn't expecting to even get a donut given the runflats. Did you guys get a donut spare with your runflats? I'd guess I'd have a jack and tools as well, but I've never really checked for it.

Donut comes with the Sport Package in the US. It is spec'd out in the list of items.

BTW - have you guys seen that Toyo just released an update to the venerable Proxes T1-S? They're call the T1-R. Someone on the forums has them and can't say enough about them...

Another Happy vote for the PS/2's. I now have had mine for 2000 miles and it's like night and day compared to the last 2000 miles on the Dunlops.

BTW, did you guys see the Schumi's shredded Bridgestones? I wonder if he complained about road noise
