Ditching the RFT's

Hi all,

I know this has been asked before but what are your recommendations for the best NON-RFT tires? I am going to start with my front tires, as my rears are almost brand new. And what is the impact to the TPMS for the changeout?

Many thanks!

No impact on TPMS sensors. I prefer Michelin Pilot Sports....be free from the bricks, be free ...

I can recommend the Michelin PSS after thinking long and hard about moving away from the RFTs.

Much better ride and handling. I just discovered how good the handling really is now by doing a windy hill run.

However I have gotten some DSC errors when I scanned my car. Not sure if they are serious or not.

I went with Continental DWS non-RFT and have not looked back. The ride and handling are SO MUCH better! I did purchase a repair kit to keep in the trunk, just in case.
