Run Flat replacements

Looking for suggestions for replacement of practically new Pirelli P7 run flats, they are garbage and want to take them off to save for lease return...live in AZ so would like kind of like a summer tire but the Michelin PS4S are so damn $$, anyone have any Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 PLUS, General GMAX RS, Firehawk Indy, Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate? Ideally I would get like 30k out of them so I can throw back on the Pirelli Run Flats right before lease ends. I have non staggered 19" wheels and M Sport Suspension setup...

I have the 19” Pirelli P7’s on my M340i and I am also not impressed. My biggest complaint is the rough ride over small bumps and washboard pavement. The up-down damping is so sharp that it rattles my teeth. What is your primary complaint?

My 2015 328i M Sport also had run-flats, so I’m not new to run-flats, but I never had issues with the Continentals or the Bridgestones I used on that car.

I went with the PS4S and it's night and day difference. In regards to the tires you listed I am running the General GMAX RS on my Audi and can tell you that they have been a great tire!

I am seriously considering the GMAX RS over the PS4S....I need enough treadlife to get me to end of my lease (only 2k miles in) and the GMAX are literally $100 less a tire, out here in the heat also my concern is the wear of the PS4S as it sounds like getting 20k out of them is a bonus and only in cooler climates...I won't ever track this car either so don't think I will gain much getting the Michelins over the GMAX for a "spirited" daily driver....?

You will DEFINITELY get more miles on the GMAX. I live in Florida so I am in the heat also.

Update...have been riding in the new GMAX RS for a few days now...super grippy, quiet, night/day difference from the Pirelli RF, happy with the purchase!
