Any brand you feel comfortable with should be okay with the summer months you're talking about. I personally don't think runflats are critical unless you have a long history of flats. I don't. I ditched my OEM GY runflats when they wore out at around 9,800 miles - I'm on my second set of non-runflats (currently Michelin Pilot Super Sports) and have not had any issues at all...
Good luck!

Ikernen, I went to www.tirerack.com and looked through the reviews for the different brands of tires. There are quite a few that have very good reviews, Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelin to name a few. I narrowed them down to a few, went to the tire shop, and chose the ones that was the best price. In my case that ended up being the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500's. I went with the non run flats for a better ride, and as said above just carry a tire repair kit if needed. Or call a roll back if it's worse. The chances of a flat are slim, and with the difference in the price between the run flats and the non I can call a couple roll backs.

Today I received (UPS) my set of Hankooks for my GS. Nice looking tire, along with positive reviews from users. The tires feel soft & sticky so we'll see how they perform soon. First I have to wear out my GoodYears (fun) - it's nice to have a set of tires 'on deck'.
