Do you still have your original tires? How many miles on your car? Are you considering run-flats or non run-flats?

I have a 2004 E60 17" Sport YES I still have my original Bridgestone Potenza RE050 Run Flat Tires 245/45R17 95W ZR all-season. It's a little over 50,000 miles. I still have a little tread left.

I'm considering getting non-run flats this time. Some people think these tires were noisy.. some say it's quiet. I thought they were quiet.

I'm considering on getting the Bridgestone Potenza RE960 AS Pole 245/45R17 95W ZR all-season non run flats they run approx. $165 ea. The original above tires is $275+ ea. which is too expensive. I live in California so snow/icy roads is not an issue.
