Mini Cooper S R56 - what tyres?

[Tea Cosy]

Running on Pirelli P-Zero 205/45/R-17 run flat tyres and the ride is truly awful. Non run flat tyres is now a must.

Local specialist recommended Yokohama (model not given), or Hankook Ventus S2.

What are the current popular choices? For use on standard UK roads, all year round.

UPDATE: Ended up going for the Michelin PS4. @ £125/tyre incl fitting + £45 wheel alignment. What a difference. The ride is definitely not as hard and makes a typical bumpy British road far more bearable. Also notice the car is far less twitchy on the corners. I just have to hope I don’t get a puncture otherwise I’ll have to call the breakdown service. Overall a worthwhile investment which has made the car far more enjoyable to drive.
