Both the most expensive and the worst tire I've owned. What they don't tell you about RFT is that it will get you to the tire shop without changing tires if it goes flat, but the drive destroys the inside of the tire. This happened with a nail. Second tire had sidewall rupture at normal highway speed. Happened again 2,000 miles later on the replacement. This issue is all over the BMW forums. Don't buy this tire.

Nice tires. Put them on my Ford Fusion, and they look nice. Can't go wrong with Bridgestones. They ride smooth and the ride noise is low. Will recommend to another person.
