No, you need to change all 4 if you are going non-RFT. There's quite a few threads on changing over.

I agree, you have to buy two new of the same kind you have or then change all four.

Now when you have the change, go for 4 new non RF's.

I would go for Continental SportContact2 or (second best) Michelin PilotSport2

Or in my opinion Michelin PS2 or (second best) Sport Contact 2

PS2's are more expensive however...
