Keeping run flats maybe
I am actually considering keeping the run flats as the Bilsteins are working so well. 205/55-16 summer dry&wet. I will keep my Conti' all season for the months when it is cold.
It looks like the Advan and PZero are my only choices for summer gum-*****. What is the consensus on these two tires?
My original plan was to go RE960 all seasons and carry a spare. Then I decided to maybe try summer tires, so the Bridgstone RE-11 or Dunlop Sport Z1 caught my eye. I just hate to fill the back end with a big old spare. (R56) So considering run flats.

I can say anything about the tires you're interested in, but as far as run-flats vs. non, I have to say I like the ride of non-flats so much more. I went with Michelin Pilot A/S Plus. So much smoother ride. And, since there's no room for a spare, I got the Conti Comfort Kit, which inc's a air compressor and tire goo/filler, just in case.

Even a standard plug kit works fine. The goo will trash the TSP. I considered this solution, but thinking back, the times I needed a tire, it was a sidewall cut and total failure goo will not fix. Guess I should get the seats out and the new deck build to see what a tire in back really looks like.
