Run flat/No run flat

Hi forum members,
I am the owner of a 2022 X3 2WD X3 that needs new tires. I currently have the original Pirelli P7 run flats that have 21000 miles and are at 2mm tread depth.
I believe that I would prefer non run flat tires with a longer thread life and add a small compressor to the vehicle. Most driving is local and I have BMW roadside assistance if a sidewall is punctured.
Limited research has led me to Michelin Cross climate 2 which alleges a 60,000 mile tread life. Pricing from my local Discount tire shop would be $1634 installed with warranty certificates.
Have any members used these tires? What is your opinion? What alternatives should I consider? What portable compressors should I be looking at?
Thanks for your opinions.

Runflats suck. You will get much more compliant and smoother ride with regular tires. And your suspension will last longer.

Do you need all-season tires in Arizona? If not, go with summer tires for best performance.
