Need tire help/advice

My run flats are pretty done , time to replace them. I have an e90 335 pre lci non-sport package.

It has 225/45/r17's , I want to know a good performance tire(could be a summer tire since I live in Miami) that isn't too expensive. I'm getting new rims in a couple of months(will get PS2's for those) , so I dont need a super expensive set for my stockers.


I would also like to know If I would be able to run wider tires?


Thanks for any imput

Top value oriented performance summer tires would include the Hankook V12 Evo and Sumitomo HTRZ3. 235/45R17 should fit with no problem.

Thanks for the help Gary I was leaning towards the hankook's. Also glad I could run a little wider of a tire.
