OEM RFT replacement?

My Michelin Primacy RFT on my '11 550i just about shot @ 19K miles

Would consider RFT again- for the simple fact i don't want to get stranded if I got a flat BUT, I've never liked the drive characteristics.

on my last '08 e60 550i , I ran Michelin Pilot sport a/s Plus- they were pretty nice.

I drive 19K miles per year, mostly So Cal Freeways,

my key considerations are:
longer wear
steering response
quiet

what should i consider in both RFT and non RFT ??

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S plus would suit your requirements quite well and would be the way I would go for a non run flat choice. For the run flat choice, I would consider the Michelin Primacy HP ZP.

What were your alignment specs to get that mileage???

Unless you know what the specs are, blaming tires may only be part of the equation...

Installed RE960AS RFT on my 335d Base Sedan today. Very consistent road force results (between 9-11). Replaced OEM ContiProContact SSR at 34,500 miles with approximately 4/32 on rear and 5/32 on front. Bridgestone offers a 30-day buy and try guarantee, which sealed the deal for me. Initial impression is very good. Plan to post periodic updates.
