Anyway, with my last BMW purchase, I considered the RFTs to be a positive. I bought RFT winter tires as well. So, to BMW, since Daka wants them to take note: Daka's potential lost sale is cancelled out by my purchase. You're even.  |
OT...no tire engineer, (or engineer of any kind
), but I agree that at least on my Vette, the oe GY RFTs had better "turn in" than my replacement GY Eagle Supercar F1 non-RFTs...just anecdotal, but I really feel it, imo. Not better overall "grip", but better turn in.
Hey, unique Spare Wheel and tire setup on the pic of that X5, JCL.
Looks like the rear of V's ol' Honda CR-V pos. Must be a GWN option.
