There seems to be a strange school of thought here re RFTs. Most online forums will say to replace them, they are better. However, BMW have always stated that suspension characteristcis differ between RFTs and non RFTs and to non RFT on what was a RFT car will detrement the handling. I've also heard many independent tyre type garages state the same thing.
A friend of mine has a 120d on RFTs. Because of the way it drives, especially in the wet, he actually hates it. He wants to go back to Audi. I keep telling him to replace them with normal tyres, and he keeps telling me that garages tell him it will ruin the handling because of the suspension discrepancies between RFT cars and non RFT cars.
So, which is it? Has anyone here actually gone from RFTs to non RFTs?
