Factory 20" tires are out of round

My F16 2015 x6 v8 with 20" factory tires need to be replaced after 15k km. Due to excessive road force issues causing the non-m package x6 to bounce on low speeds and vibrate around 110km/h. Tires are not covered by warranty and continental dealer is refusing to replace under tire warranty saying its a flat spot and continental warranty does not cover those.

Question for those who replaced their tires to non-run flat which tire do you recommend?

I feel tire options are quite limited, Michelin PSS would be my choice but it's not available in the front tire size 275/40-20 106y, rears are available but they are too expensive $425 a pop.

What do you guys recommend stick with run flats if yes which one? Please don't say conti's I have bad experience with two different car/suv they always develop flat spots

I've never developed flat spots on my Conti tires. I've had a car sit half a year on Contis, didn't develop any issues.

X5Jouster is running Michelin PSS's on his X5 5.0i M Sport...just sent him a PM to ask on the sizing, as I want to run the PSS's come Spring when my winters come off. My OE P-Zeros are toast.
