Question X6 Tires - Alternative to Run Flats

Hello,
I think this is my first time or my second time posting. I have a 2008 BMW X6 with run flats. And of course they are wearing down and I am looking to replace them with something else other than the expensive run flats.

However I am finding difficult to find tires that fit my car. My current setting:

Front: 285/35 R21 (run flats)
Rear: 325/30 R21 (run flats)

If anyone has any feedback, experience or recommendation, please let me know. I am just trying to save some money when replacing the tires. Run flats are freaking expensive and R21 seem to be very difficult to find. I am able to find R20 but no R21 that are match or close to it. Please Help!

Thank you!

I have same car with same OEM runflats. I didn't want to get winter wheels AND tires so I just bought a set of continental Extreme all season tires to use in the winter. I'll just swap the tires on my OEM wheels.

I did a switch in my former X6 30d to regular ( non RFT) Toyo Proxes II , they are great tires, good looking, treadware is 420, and inexpensive against other top brands, not sure if they have that size, check their website http://tirefinder.toyotires.com/
good luck
