My wife's 428i came with Pirelli run flats also - terrible tires. You're right. No tread life and they never met a wet road that didn't feel like being on ice. I went to Bridgestone Drive Guards and found them to last 30,000 miles, have a smoother ride and much better wet road traction, and they cost about 15% less. In addition, a tread puncture cane be repaired on a Bridgestone. Pirelli does not approve any type of repair on their run-flats.
