If you're sticking with run flats, I'd stick with the Bridgestones out of those two. If you can afford it, look at Michelin PS ZP. They seem to last forever.

I assume you've ruled out swapping over to non run flats? When I did it, a pair of rears was in the region of £600. A whole set of 4 non RFTs was £620.

Michellin Pilot Sport Zero Pressure if you insist on staying with run flats.

Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2 if you are moving away...

I've had both on my BMW ... I think I prefer the Bridgestones TBH. Not much between them IMO.

I have contemplated switching to non run flats. I've read threads that it ruins the cars handling so am a little apprehensive. If I change I would need to buy a spare wheel and jack that would counteract the cheaper tyres? If you guys have positive experiences that could help me make a decision.
