I'm looking to get rid of the runflats on my 135. Finding tyres is proving to be aproblem. The rears are fine 235/35 18 these seem to be availble in all brands, including my prefered choice of michelin ps.The fronts on the other hand are proving to be a little troublesome, 215/40 18. I have looked on the usual places on tinternet but as yet I can only find cheap brands or pirelli. any ideas?
Appologies for another tyre thread, but needs must as they say.

I replaced the 19" Bakelite RE050A runflats on my 335i earlier this week with Falken 452s. Delighted with them, good grip, relatively the car rides like a 7 series now and they're great value relative to the Dunlop, Michelin, Pirelli, Continental competition. Worth a search on t'interweb, they seem popular on other BM forums too.
They're available in the 18" sizes you're looking at ~ 215/40 & 245/35.

I just got back from the launch of the Continental Sport Contact 5 and one of the track cars was a 135i.
Unfortunately there were no competitor tyres to compare against directly, but I can tell you the tyre felt good on the vehicle and withstood some epic abuse (think 10 laps of pure drifting without falling apart)
