I am thinking we Z4 owners are getting the latest generation RFTs that have slightly softer sidewalls so the ride is better than the previous generation. Good to hear you like yours, this gives me hope. Like you the ones on my 3ers were very hard especially when the temps are cold.

Not sure about the 3rd generation part, but E89 with 19" RTF's was a lot comfortable on bumpy roads than my E85 with 17" RFT's. Of course the suspension is softer too, but the car I test drove had the M suspension and I had it set to Sport+. |

I replaced my RFTs at delivery with a set of Yokohama ENVigor UHP all season tires. So far, so good. Ride is very nice and handling does not seem to suffer at all.

you don't have to get runflats. I strongly recommend michelin pilot sport a/s plus tires. roughly $100 less per tire than stock bridgstones and you should easily get 45k miles out of them.

In the US a set of RFTs installed will cost between $1500 and $1800.
