Noisy RFT Tyre, any new tyre suggestions?

[kama]

Hi guys, just took delivery of used E90 325i yr 2006, everything is in excellent conditon except the road noise from the RFT tyres. Not sure whats the tyre mileage but still had about 1 cm thread. Sounds so loud and harsh it disturbs the audio inside. Thought of changing with normal tyre. Need your guys expert opinion and experience. Thank you.

Change to non-RFTs. Cos all RFTs that I have tried all go noisy when you get down to 50-30% thread left. I had to change 3 sets of RFTs earlier than normal tires.

I also observed that RFTs degrade faster than normal tires despite lower than usual mileage.

hi guys, thanks for the feedback, yes I will most likely go for Michelin PS3, even though RFT is safer to use but sounds too noisy. Also will check up on Conti CS3, which one is better in term of noise, handling and price?

I use michelin ps3, very good set of tyres. Conti a bit more pricy.

From the reviews the Michelins tend to be better both performance and comfort wise. I'm on Michelins non-RFTs and am enjoying the relative silence

Sound like none RFT tyre vote mostly go to Michelin CS3. Anyone know latest price of the 225/45/R17 320i tyre? I check around Penang region and it's around RM650 each. I want to balance between performance and comfort, in fact i prefect more comfort, any other suggestion?

Change to non-RFT but make sure to have a set of BMW Tyre Repair Kit and keep it in the boot.

I'm using Falken for my 1er almost a year now about 4k KM done, cheap cheap.
