Untrue: I have non-rf Continentals on my m-sport 18" 135 wheels.
The car feels like it handles better, the ride is more pliant. Motorway noise is significantly reduced. I carry a couple of cans of tyre-weld in the boot.
At first it seems a bit odd though, you can really feel the softer sidewalls on non-rf tyres when turning, it almost feels like the tyres are underinflated.
Was it a good swap? Yes, I recommend it.
