Q for TireRack Staff: Any chance we'll see an RFT review at some point?

Rando · 04-26-2007, 03:12 PM

I figure RFT tires perform differently from theri non-RFT versions... I'm particularly interested in the 335i OEM tire for the sport package.

I'd love to see an actual TireRack test comparing the RFT with the non-RFT as well as maybe Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s, which many people favor.

At least early in their life, the RFTs on the 335i sport are super-quiet and grip very well. But I wonder how they age... and there is the horrific shock when you hit a decent-sized pothole.

Thanks!

Yeah Gary...whazzup with that? :-)

BTW, one thing I'd really like to know is whether the stiffer sidewall is part of why th 335i is getting such amazing slalom numbers. I would guess the answer is yes.

I'm all for an RFT-only comparo.
