replacing run-flats on stock rims

Recently took delivery of GP1425. Love the rims but not the
run-flats. Any advice on non run-flat tire selection---I am
considering going to 215/40-18. The tire options seem to
include; Falken, Yokohoma, Kumho and Pirelli. I prefer to
utilize the 18" rims and not go to 17's despite better tire
availability on the latter.

Mitchelin pilot sport 2's are the best for street that I've had yet, I have KDW 2's on now and would not get them again.
