In addition, I just received 4 new non-RF Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV's from Italy that I'll be putting on in a few weeks.

Just like the Nokians - 275/40/21 and 315/35/21.

Good luck finding these in the US.

And the best part? Prices shipped to my door are commensurate with Tire Rack, Discount Tire, etc.

For these sizes (my M50i had the same setup) I gave up on US retailers years ago....
I have to hand it to you for actually pulling the plug on this approach .

Takes serious guts to buy tires online and import them from Italy of all places!

I, too, toyed with this idea of ordering tires over eBay, but I eventually chickened out and ended up ordering the same Michelin PS4 SUVs but in RFTs. I really hope they aren't as bad as the Continentals.
