My Ride: 2007 530i Saphire Black, Sport Package, Premium Package, HID, and SAT Radio.

I traded a 05 530 w/o Sport Package for a 07 530i With the SP and the OEM Bridgestone RFT is one hell of a grabber, I mean I ride and race a 2006 CBR 1000RR and I know when a tire means bussiness and I really think that a sport should be limited to creature comfort and shoulld really focus on proformance and the RFT does.

Maybe the guy in the 1000RR don't know $hit about bike. and I think the 600RR would be a better choice if you are talking about tracking it.

Keep in mind OEM RFT are intended for daily driving not 100% track like the F!!! My point is for a everyday tire the sacrafice is worth the proformance.
