Need new tires

Hello everyone thinking of getting new tires and seems like Michelin ps2 are the way to go but my question is , since I have run flats do I get the same sizes which are 205/50/R17 for Michelin or is it changed since they are not run flats

As far as I know you can get 225/255 even if you have stock wheels and it won't rub.

The sizing will not change just because you'll be using non RFT tires. The same sizes you have now will work fine.

PS2 way to go? As far as I know, Michelin only makes the PS2 for fitment specific with Porsche in the size we need for 128, they discontinued other variation of this tire? This made me decide to go with pilot sport A/S.
