Run flats - I want to move on

I am thinking of getting rid of my run flat tyres shortly. I have purchased a BMW space saver kit, and checked if it fits ok which it does, I didn't fancy using the tyre seal goo with the run flats.
What tyres do you recommend and do you think I am doing the right thing.

Depends on the size. 205/55 R16 then Toyo J48s or Michelin Primacy 3.
