I changed my 19" RFTs with Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas. They are a well rated tyre with a good price tag (£500 for a set of 4).
I have been extremely impressed with the tyres in all situations so far. They are a huge improvement on the RFTs. All of the harshness, chrashiness and tramlining are gone - driving over cats eyes no longer risks displacing a tooth and minor rattles are gone too.
I personally felt that the RFTs were acceptable for what they are, but replacing them for non run flats makes a significant improvement to the whole driving experience. I really understand why Alpina and M Division do not use RFTs - they significantly comprimise the driving experience of what should be a segment leader in this area, and is when shod with non run flats.
Back to the Vredesteins, they really are a seriously good tyre. Do some research, they are very well rated on many decent motoring forums and review sites. I purchased mine from Pneus Online, a very competitive retailer.
Also - the Vredesteins are XL rated and so have a relatively hard side wall, making them a good combination with the RFT tuned setup on e92s in particular.
Hope this helps.
