Just posted in your other thread on same subject but... Try non-runflat 245/40/19's first. All runflats have stiff sidewalls and I found the P7's better than RFT Bridgestones I had on an F30. The 245/45/19 will give you even more speedometer error than is already built in. If you're worried about getting stranded with a flat and no spare, carry the M Mobility kit or similar from Continental (available at tirerack.com). I've done this for 15 years but never had to use it. Or buy the 5 series spare tire kit that was an option when new.
