Hey ya,
I need little help on tire advise. Which is better the RFT Bridgestone or Dunlop? Any other suggestion is okay too.

I have a set of Bridgestone UHP RFT Summers on my stock wheels and General UHP A/S on my CSL Reps for the other months of the year.

If you're replacing one of the set - match what is on the car. I had the Bridgestone RFTs - hear the Dunlops are noisy! Have you thought about replacing with conventional hi-perf tires? Check the ratings at TireRack - if you buy thru the link in my signature you'll pick up an extra cash rebate.

After 2 sets of 18" Runflats I changed for Dunlop SP 3000 non runflats. I have to say they are hardwearing, there is no adverse noise and I have no tram lining. I am sure I will get more than 16000 miles out of them also. The best move I have made yet with the E60
