335d, funny you say that, I borrowed a new 320i M sport, it was a much better ride, firm but compliant, than my 335i which is very crashy on PS2 RFT.

The 320i was on 17" bridgestones.

I'm ditching the RFTs this week hopefully, I just can't for the life of me find a single plus point for keeping them.

- expensive
- crap ride
- unfeasably heavy
- fitters often damage your rims changing them
- hard to find at short notice when you need one
- need replacing even for a simple puncture (officialy)
- can often fail catastrophically during 'flat use' (as seen on this forum)
- BMW only use them due to commercial tie in's with manufacturers
- BMW are ditching them next year on new cars (will be optional)
- M cars don't use them, proving they are not compatible with good drive & handling etc.

any + points?

I'll sell my nearly new part worn PS2 (8kmiles) on ebay, which will cover the new non rft set.

Going for conti 3's - joy
