Got em, 1700 miles and no problems and plenty of tread.
I heard bad things from others about RFTs, in the rain but I just drove from Montreal to NYC in a blistering storm and they handled superbly.

But even on dry roads, the RFT seems to bounce over the road a bit. Could be the stiff sidewall.

26,000 miles and looking at 5000 more. No signs of excessive road noise. Have the 275/35/19 rear and 245/40/19 front. No rotation but all seem to wearing even. I stay on top of my pressure, checking no less than every two weeks and adjusting to near top of BMW recommendation.
