hey guy,
Do I have to use RFT on my 2008 535i sport? They are pricey, I need to replace them very soon. If not, what you guy recommended? I'm do like the all season tire purpose.

But get a spare.

Thanks guys, I do have a spare and also RFT on my 124 on 18". I'm thinking about the Goodyear GT tire or Bridgestone Pole A960.
Stay away from the Goodyears IMO.
I put Bridgestone 760s on, (I think)
Like them so far.

Ditch the RFTs. There are a million threads about which tire is best.
For max summer performance tires, if price was no object, I'd get the Michelin PS2s. Since price is an object, I got the Hankook Ventus V12 Evos -- very highly rated in comparos and less than $200 per tire.
For all seasons, a number of members swear by the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires. One UHP all season tire that is inexpensive and well-regarded and widely used by members is the General Exclaim UHP.

I have been using the Goodyear Eagle F1 AS tires for a year now, and they have been great, i especially like the wheel protectors on them. Maybe you were having issues with a particular model?

Hi,
RFT's tires sucks, comfort is poor.Changed them for Bridgestone Potenza's RA50A 18'' and they great!!! I'm very unhappy it's winter now and I have to use 17'' Dunlop Winter Sport 3D even they ok as a winter tires.
