Now please, can we talk about RFT ..................Phil
Well put phil!

Onto RFTs. The bridgestones seem to start looking old pretty quickly. The edges wear down within a thousand miles..odd

Not so fast Phil. This is not your sandbox, but everyone's. If you don't want to play by the rules of this forum, I could care less - you are nothing more than a ridiculous tag line to me. But if you insist on placing Obama in your tag line, then accept the fact that some people, especially me, won't stand passively by. IMO your tag line shows your true character and you most likely enjoy the responses it generates. A reasonable approach would be to change your tag - this is a forum about the X5, not the worst president since Carter.

I thought you guys had an amendment to your constitution down there about freedom of expression.

Ezndo, the signature line is not violating the rules of this forum IMO. We'd probably have to ask a moderator, but it seems pretty innocuous to me. Certainly less distasteful than the stripper pics that some of our members choose to put in their signature lines from time to time. There is a rule, though, about discussing politics except in the politics forum. That is where your opinions on the qualities (or lack of qualities) of your current president belong. Since you care about the rules of the forum, why not start a thread there expressing your opinion on the subject?

And if that is all too difficult, why not just go to your own CP tab, select display options, and uncheck the box labelled "display signatures". Pretty easy stuff. And you would never have to read it again. Problem solved. At least until he wins another term, lol.

Back on topic:

Given some time has passed with the other threads, I'm hoping we have a lot more miles driven now for some additional comparisons.

Can anyone share treadlife of other RFT (michelins etc) compared to their bridgestones?

I know treadlife is dependent on driver, size, road conditions etc, but I assume the same person offering this data would take out the other variables and offer a good tire life and experience comparison.

Other than the Dunlops and Bridgestones, I don't think there are any other RFT options for the 20"s (Pirelli might but I doubt any have those). Michelin Lattitude and Continental Contacts are all-season non-RFT in the 20" size.
