Way better improvement over RFT, and just as good as my prior Bridgestones I use to run.

which bstone? RE01R?

btw just got my set today...can't wait to test them out!

No the RE070. I heard the RE01R are very good but not worth the extra $ when you can get the Dunlops at a better rate. These cars cant exceed these tires anyway. My next sets are the Potenzas RE 11 when they hit the US.

After transitioning to non-RFT's -- Did you guys get a spare/repair kit?

Also, on getting these tires, is it recommended to get a new alignment (stock spec) or just let it be as is? (I have 30K miles in my E92 + sports)

I am considering these tires, but not sure if its OK since I dont have a spare.

Thanks.
