What non-RF tires are recommended for 19 wheels. The dealer claims that they will order me whatever I specify for my W&T package.

Good Q - I thought I read that the RF Wheels has a special lip to hold the sidewall secure in case pf pressure loss, so I was wondering the same thing.
Here's a good wheel link - many seem to be for RFs when you drill down on the selection.

In no particular order:
1. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
2. GoodYear F1 GS-D3
3. Continental ContiSport 2
4. Toyos
5. Nittos
6. Bridgestones
7. Pirellis
A lot of e60 owner swear by the Michelins and Goodyears. M5s are delivered with Continentals. I went with Toyo T1Rs after doing a lot of research and saved myself about $500.
If you're daring go with 285s in the rear instead of 275s.

Whether run flat or not, tires are not usually stocked locally. Could be a few days or weeks to get them. If you want non-rf's, you won't be able to drive on the tires if they go flat. A mobile repair kit would be a good idea too. Since these cars do not have a spare, and you do not want run flats, I would rethink any road trips without some serious preparation.
