Personally I stick with RFT because I have tire warranty and the roads here are HORRIBLE. Potholes going into Boston are atrocious, in addition I've gotten a few flats. I'm happy to have tire warranty and rft. Ill sacrifice comfort for saving 1000 a year without a second though or a look back.
With that said I will be moving to Arizona within the next year or so, where the roads are nice and smooth so I have been looking at Non RFT tires to replace my winter set. I like Conti's and Michelin for tires. I had both in the past with good experiences, on my e90, and would recommend them to you as well. The way I look at it go for DW's if you want a decent tire at a reasonable price. They are track proven and a cost efficient choice. If you want to go for high end take a set of Pilot Sports and you will be rewarded with excellent grip and a long lasting tire. Also a note on the conti's they tend to get noisy when worn.
