. It comes down to how much you hate them and the cost to replace them.

Why so many people hate RFT's? I don't see any problem with them - they are quiet, stable on the road, and very grippy. I have stock Dunlops - what seem to be the problem with them?
Oh, and they are outrageously expensive ($320 ea) and very few shops are qualified to deal with them; and you must be very careful of your wheels when they are changed by incompetents.
Otherwise, they are great. :thumbsdown:

they are noycier than non RF's.
And then there has been a lot of tread problems with the older Dunlop RF's, and many have been changed under warranty.

My tires were changed under warranty before I bought the car (9.9K miles). So I got hte new tires when I bought the car - and so far, I love RFT's - no issues whatsoever. I don't think the ride is harsh, but then again, my daily driver is Z3.... :-)
