Tyre Choice W212 17"!

My tires are at 30,000km and need changing!
I'm a 245/45/17

What is the max size I should go? Should I stick to the regular or go Runflat?

I'm right now either looking at Pirelli Pzero, or the continental (althought I'm not sure which is best!) (Conti Extreme contacts)
Any thoughts?

I'm checking tire rack but there are so many options!
I would like traction and handling as my main goal.

I love the thread life on

that's also an option.

It all depends what you want to do. If you like the way your e rides and handles stick with the same tire size , regular not runflat, and the same brand.

I have narrowed it down to the Purecontact with Eco Plus,or the DWS.

I usually drive on very wet/ or very dry roads daily, I live in the tropics.
