I've had the Michelin A/S's on my 2004 530 for about a month. Since I live in Houston, snow isn't likely to be an issue, but they are great in the rain. I run them at the high end of the door post pressures -- if I recall properly, 35 front and 41 rear. The ride would be a little softer at the lower end of the range, but I was chasing better mileage.

I had them installed at Costco, which includes nitrogen filling instead of air. I can't tell any difference, but the checks and refills are free.

I have regular PS2's (also from Costco) and I am probably going to switch to the A/S version for better wear when these wear out. How do like the A/S handling? Did you have regular PS2's previously and if so, how do the A/S tires compare?

$300-350 maybe.

Just to post my experience with the OEMs.. I had put my Dunlop run-flats on Ebay and they just sold for $600.00 (they were dealer take offs too). I did not however, have any luck on dedicated BMW forums classified where run-flats are considered the anti-christ
