My Ride: 2007 530i, white/black manual, sports package, nav, PDC, etc.
In need of new tires on my 2007 530i sport with Active Steering. Would appreciate recommendations.
Although handling is important, I'd like to find a reasonable cost tire with lower noise level and better ride quality than my OEM runflats. I drive in Southern California. I plan to sell the car in about a year. Willing to go non-runflat. Sharp handling and steering response are important.
So far, I think I've narrowed it down to either:
1) Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s (or their replacement, the Pilot Super Sport)
2) Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus
Comments/feedback would be appreciated.

PS2's are wayyyy too much tire for a 530. You just do not need that much grip with 250hp in a large sedan. I had a 530 and no way would you ever even see the benefit from ps2. I would reccomend a nice cheap tire yoko S-drive max summer. Real cheap, great quality, lasts a long time and looks good

I have a 530i and Hankook V12s works fine for me. I went from Dunlop RFTs to these and they are awesome summer tires. If you plan on selling the car in a year, V12s are very economical and handles great.
