Default Nitto's or BFG Comp 2

What tire would you use to replace Goodyear Run flats? Car needs tires and not sure what to use for a good tire that is quiet and rides decent?
Any suggestions would be great.

If you don't need the specific abilities of a summer tire (high maximum grip, specifically) I like the General G-max AS-03 for daily use. They won't hang you out to dry if you get caught in a cold rain or light snow like a summer tire can. I'm on my second set of them, and will probably get another when these are finished.

I had the BFG's and they were awesome in the rain, but sounded like a 4x4 humming down the road. I have nitto invo's now and love them and will buy them again.

BFG COMP II will be installed tomorrow! I went with these with some feedback from another friend.
As I put miles on them, I will update this post with news. I will also post pics of the too.
