New tires to replace RFTs

I have to replace the tires on my 2009 328i coupe (sport package). Tire specs are:
225/40r18
255/35r18

RTFs were horrible in terms of ride, road noise and longevity. They lasted 20K miles and I have been pushing it since the tires looked worn out quite sometime back. I am looking to replace them with a Non RFT tire. After talking to some shops and reading up reviews on the Internet, Toyo Proxes 4 plus seems like the best option out there for the price. General G Max also seemed like a good bet but some shops told me that the Proxes were much better.

Anyone has experience with these tires ? What was your experience ? Any other tires that I may be missing out ?

Does replacing the RFTs with Non RFTs invalidate the warranty ? I have the extended CPO warranty on the car for another 6 months or so. Can a dealer refuse to fix an issue if the RFT tires have been replaced by Non RFTs ?

Would appreciate your experience and any suggestions that you have....!
