If you're an aggressive driver with a high performance sports car that is looking for run-flat tires then strongly consider the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP. Equipped as Original Equipment (O.E.) on BMW 3 series sport package cars, as well as the 2009 Corvette ZR1, this tire combines world class dry road traction, handling and cornering. If you're looking for run-flats for your BMW or Corvette, look no further.
Take a look at what some of our customers have said about their experience with the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP:
"Goodyear F1 to Michelin transforms the car. Low noise, no more tramlining on poor surfaces and smooth transition at limit. 4 for 4 upgrade. Should have made swap last year and enjoyed last summer more." -- Tire Rack Consumer, 2007 Chevrolet Corvette
"Wow. Just wow. I just put these tires on after testing the Conti DW tires. Now I see what everyone is talking about. Treadlife is not the greatest, but I'm fine with 20k miles. These are super responsive, smooth, quiet and sticky as heck. Totally thrilled." -- Tire Rack Consumer, 2010 535i BMW

Just a normal driver.. how would michelin ps2zp be for Comfort and noise?
I can check on this for you. What size and model of Continental tire are you trying to compare to?
I'm looking for a new set of tires for my 2009 BMW 335i. Tire size is 225/45/R17. I live in South Florida so winter season is not an issue and I would consider myself to be more of a "spirited" driver.
I am willing to go run flat as long as the performance is still there, the tires don't wear out in 15k miles, and the cost is not astronomical. Also...and I know this may sound tacky...but I'm a sucker for a V tread or something that looks sporty when I reverse into a parking spot and cut the wheel a bit. I currently have a pair of Bridgestone Turenza's on there and I am NOT enjoying them at all. In addition to the stiff ride, the traction and handling is sub-par. I've had a few sets of Bridgestone's, but in my experience, these are my least favorite so far.
With that said, what would be your top 4 recommended tires?

Given that I cannot find any V treads in a run flat summer tire in 225/45R17, the following are non run flat suggestions : BFG Gforce Sport C2, Hankook Ventus V12 EVO and Yokohama S-drive.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure where you can find a compact spare wheel setup for this vehicle.
