What tires are comparable to the Potenzas?

I have 2 knots in Potenza run flats and am looking at other brands as I have been reading about a lot of people having this problem.

What other brands should I look at?

Thanks in advance.

p.s. I did a search on Potenza's but didnt see a thread like this...

My 08 335 sport came with Michelin Pilot Sport RFT's...very pleased, especially for a run flat. Pilot Sports are also on my Carrera

if you are moving away from RFT's, I'll recommend vredestein ultrac sessantas

Take a look at Michelin's RFT. I switched after my Bridgestones wore out.

Many have been very happy with the PS2 runflat over the Bridgestone.

I had Michelin Pilot sports A/S Plus on my E46 and would like to know what is most similar in a Run Flat to fit on my new E90 328i Sport Package Sedan.

I can't seem to find Pilot sport RFTs in the correct size.

Assuming that you have the 225/45R17 up front and 255/40R17 rear. Unfortunately Michelin does not make a runflat tire in those sizes. The top runflat tire available in those sizes are the Pirelli Pzero RFT.
