Currently running Bridgestone 205/45 R17 Run Flats which have been on the car since I purchased last year. Now in need of 2 new fronts, anyone have any recommendations for better options than the Bridgestone's? Having had a quick look online there are Continental's or Dunlop's in a similar price bracket...

In my opinion Bridgestone are ok, I have RE040 on one car which are very good wet and dry. Many will say get off run flats which I have done on my R53, better to consider what you'd do if stuck with a puncture when doing that though. Took over 11 hours getting recovered from the M40, all night! Still prefer to stay with non rft though on that. I don't know if any stand out over others, Pirelli P Zero I believe are good, I would use them or Bridgestone if at the right price myself.
