Non RFT on 335i sedan?

R1000K3 · 09-06-2009, 01:39 AM

Will non RFT work on this car or will the stability be significantly reduced? I know the comfort will be better but is not prepared to buy that on the expence of reduced high speed stability. I've noticed that the 335 on stock tyres performs very well at e.g. 155 mph and is now using Bridgestone RE50E's RFT. 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear.

So, what are you guys using non RFT's and carving corners saying?

Run flat tires suck.. I sell them and I buy all-season tires almost immediately. I recommend the Continental ExtremeContact DWS. If you don't get snow, then choose a set of good summer tires.
