Which runflats would you recommend for my BMW 530D and how long should they last?

I would like some advice on tyres please. I need four new runflat tyres on my 2003 BMW 530D (225/50 17 94w) and wondered if you have any suggestions? I currently have Dunlops, which offer a very hard ride and don't seem to have lasted very long. What sort of mileage should you get on a set of tyres?

Talk to www.event-tyres.co.uk. Low prices. Good availability. And they come to you rather than you to them. BMW now favours the latest generation Dunlops. 225/50 R17s should last 15,000 – 20,000.
