I have conventional AS2's on my F31 335d and find them very good in terms of both performance and wear; if the run-flat equivalents are similar I'd look at my money twice before just ditching them for a set of Michelins (good as the MP4S's undoubtedly are!).
Goodyear eagles I think. I'm picking it up today so will maybe give it a day or so!
If it's on Goodyears I'd certainly give it a thousand miles or so to see what you think. As I say, a lot of people (including me) rate the conventional Eagle F1 Asymmetrics quite highly and, if the run-flat equivalent performs well (which is rumoured to be the case), I'm not sure I'd be rushing to incur costs to switch to the latest Michelins just yet!

Hope the collection goes smoothly!
