Interestingly, my dealer could not put them on the wheels and had to outsource it to someone else in town.? Weird since they mount 19"s all the time....anyone else have that happen to them?

RFTs have a very,very,very stiff sidewall, which makes it extremely difficult to take off and put on, harder than normal 19" tires.

[quote name='pharding' date='Dec 4 2004, 09:02 AM']I just got 2 pair of the front 124 wheels from bmwwheels.com and Dunlop M3's from tirerack.com for winter wheels and tires.? Works great for me.

I got the Bridgestone Blizzak MZ-03 18 inch runflat snows on my sport wheels last year and they were quite good. I drove on the standard RF's for a couple of snows before these went on and I would say they improved the ride 100%. They have less grip and are a little harder ride on dry pavement but no surprise there. I remembered them being noisier then they are but I think my RF (now with 10k miles) are getting louder. <_<
