On replacement tires I do not care for run flats, so regular tires will do.
However I wonder if anyone know any replacement tires for the X5M 20" that have the same thread pattern on both halves of the tire?
So basically every 10,000 miles I will have the tires removed and flip them from one side to the other. Should get more life out of them that way.

I'm not sure why you want to align your tires in a way that causes inside tire wear or any uneven tire wear, for that matter.
I've just changed my run flat 20s to non-rft Continental Extreme Contact DWS (uneven tread design) and asked the tire shop to align the tires for even wear. I made a point of this because I was told the BMW alignment specs allow for a range of ways to align the tires. That range, supposedly, accommodates a number of driving styles, spirited, normal, and so forth. After letting go of my original Dunlop rfts at 17k miles (showing lots of uneven wear), I wanted to get longer life out of the tires without having to resort to swapping the tires every now and then. I do mostly straight line driving.
I would consider Michilin if the even tread design is a must.
