Need Recommendation for tire size

Car: 2015 535x drive m sport
Current Tires: 245/40RF-19 BRIDGESTONE DRIVEGUARD WITH RUNFLAT EXTENDED MOBILITY XL
Miles: 100k

These tires are horrible. I've replaced each tire at least 3 times with normal driving conditions. I am fed up at this point and am going to switch to non run flat tires. Any suggestion for size of tire/Brand?

Thank you all in advance!

Go to tirerack. They have fairly rigorous comparative tests for most tire classes. You make the decision about what tire class you want to be in (and how much you want to pay).

You can also consider going with a 45 profile tire. The taller sidewall will be less prone to damage and should ride better. Here's mine on 245/45-19 Michelin winters:
