Have only had Gen 1 RFT's because I tend to replace them with non-RFT tyres (mainly Michelin PS2). Was told by friends that the Gen 2 RFT's are much better. Presumed the new 5 comes with Gen 2 RFTs. Tried them for 2 days and still felt that they were not that great. Noisy and don't soak up road undulations/bumps well. So decided to change to non-RFT tyres when I went to swap my wheels for a bigger wheel. Must say, despite going up to 19"s, the ride is still much better than with the RFT 17"s. The non-RFT just soaks up the bumps better and as a whole, provides a more comfortable ride. IMO, the RFT's still have some way to go to return the same feel as the non-RFTs. What do you guys think?</p></blockquote><p></p>
