I replaced all four 20" Goodyear RFTs with ExtremeContact DW today!
The DW set will break in over the next couple of weeks. However, the first half mile the difference was night and day: smooth, grippy, just feeling right. The comfort mode is now truly an experience and the wheel stays straight even in that mode. Sport has instant wish to go hard and not break loose. I am being cautious for now.
Cornering settles confidently and this is still with the tires needing to lose all that resin that lingers from manufacturing. The tires look a little narrower than the RFTs on the rear wheels. But they still look great!
The change was well worth the move.
Reason was a bubble at front right. Turns out that both fronts had bubbles as I found today at the tire shop! I noticed the first about a month ago. Tread was still about 4/32" so I kept the rears for spare replacements. The car had 15.7 k miles on them, meaning the Goodyears had actually worn very well.
More reviews to come after the break in period.
