With those with a new(er) 335iS, what type of tire do you have on? What was OEM size and kind? Whats your opinion?

I recently drove a 335xi with Pilot Sport PS2 ZP and was amazed, very impressed compared to my tires (although a touch noisier). I'm considering a new car and may have the option of the 18" 193 rims with Pilot Sport PS2 ZP (love the rim) or 19" 313 with what I believe are the same as 335iS, Bridgestone Potenza PE050A RunFlats (I actually question the rim on a sedan).

I've personally heard absolute horror stories about the Bridgestone, but generally positive reviews for the Michelin's.

Asking the SMRT guys here.

The vast majority including myself feel that the PS2 ZP is the best summer runflat tire available today.

I have gone through 4 Bridgestone Potenza tires in 11 months. I stuck with them out of fear of a lesser performance tire but from what I have been seeing and hearing the PS2 ZP seem to be the better alternative.
