[QUOTE="gnoy26, post: 314153, member: 13898"] regarding RFTs, there are many aspects to this matter... i personally love the RFTs, some ppl will pay alot of money to get stiff sidewalls to achieve steering responsiveness. to me RFTs give me luxury and performance, the luxury to know that im in safe hands even if a tyre puncture occurs at high speeds and stiff sidewalls for a better respond without compromising my traction. anyways the only thing i dislike about the RFTs are that they are much heavier compared to non RFTs you might have changed into a non RFT because the person you spoke to at your usual Tyre shop suggested that RFTs are uncomfortable and more expensive, which is true but also maybe because these tyres are heavy to stock and they do not carry them. In which my case i personally feel that the RFT has alot to offer and in time it will be a tyre that meets both comfort and the performance world. btw for all cars that came stock fitted RFT/SSR tyres, have specially tuned suspensions to withstand the extra impact the RFT/SSR tyres will cause. eg. the new X5 & X6 fitted bridgestone RFTs have specifically adjusted suspensions to suit the harder impact of these tyres.
