Need to change out the OEMs on my Msport 35i (non staggered).

Any suggestions as to which runflats are best.

I have dedicated winters so no need for all seasons, but would like a tire which is good in wet and dry conditions.

Leaning towards Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT

If you want comfort and a better feel for the road, forget the run flats.

Thanks, I'm well aware of what I'll be giving up, but this is a vehicle we use on long trips and a flat on a sunday is not something I want to deal with. If BMW had the space to hide a space saver spare then I would go with regular tires all the way. With 19" rims the car is more prone to flats.

Can't tell you what is best, but here is my take. Just had 245/45 R19 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS RFT tires installed on my X3 35i M sport, 2 days ago. They do not feel like run flats. Amazing difference between these and OEM LS2 tires. A much smoother, quieter ride. Bumps and pot holes less jarring. Very pleased with these run flats so far.

I put on the 18" pirelli P zero's about 3000 miles ago and they seem to run fine. Got them from Tire rack

I put a set of Pirelli P7 Cinturato run flats on my X3 a few months back. They've been great so far. Better all around tire compared to the OE tires.
