Just decided to go from RF to NON RF tyres. I have RF Bridgestones Potenzas which are great tyres but still toooooo hard on country roads and bumps.

What is the best non rf tyre for BMW on the market today?
I was thinking probably again Bridgestones potenzas but nonrf.
(Had those before and they are pretty good)

Thanks for inputs.
