I was currently using the RE050 runflats on my stock 5 series and now im gonna change to M6 19 inch rims....any advice on which tires i should roll on....the size is staagered 245/35/19 and 275/30/19....These were the choices:
Toyo T1R= i thinks has the best looking side wall....
Michellin PS2= I heard this is the best but in my country its real pricey
Dunlop sport maxx= Good price..ok tread design but i heard there are balancing problems
Yokohama advan sport= good looking tread design but almost the same price as PS2

PS2's. They are expensive everywhere, but I think these Michelin's are worth it. You have an expensive car and should not reduce your enjoyment of it with inferior tires. I got a set for my 545 recently from COSTCO for $1335, installed, with road hazard protection, etc. You should definitely shop around for the best possible deal since the price is highly variable.

Kumho ECSTA SPT, saw the ads in roundel. You'll be surprised, they're competitively priced and has good reviews. Go Tirerack.com. PS2's are good yet overrated IMHO.
