I need to replace the two rear tires on my '06 530i with sport package, 245/40R18. I have run flats. I am considering changing all four to non-run flats.
Would you change from run flats to non-run flats?
Any suggests on which non-run flat to change to?
What has been your experience on non-run flats?

Change to non-run-flat, you will get a more smooth ride. The best tires would be Michelin PS2,

Yes, dump the RFT. Lots of choices for tires and depends on if you need a dedicated winter set up. If you do, then get full summers, otherwise you might want an all-season. You might want to add your location.
A lot of people on here like Michelin PS ($$) and General Exclaim UHP (not as much $$).

Runflats are fine. The Ps2s are great, but $580/tire and last 15-20k ONLY

Absolutely
Any suggests on which non-run flat to change to?
See tirerack.com for reviews. Most here run Michelin PS2's or General Exclaim UHP's.
What has been your experience on non-run flats?
Superior to numb flats. Run flats have zero road feel.

There's a forum for sales, guys! 
Or, did I inadvertantly stumble into the auction thread?
