Hi
I am planing to replace my RFT ( Good Year ) 254/45/19 to a Non RFT
for my 2015 535I GT
My option are
Michellin Pilot Sport A/S3
Bridgestone Potenza RE 970 Pole Potenza
Both are all season tires
any recommendation or real life experience with any of these tires.
Thanks

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 for sure. Rated better and the preferred brand. I've never had issues with Michelin tires.

Another option is Pirelli PZero RFT. I moved from Goodyear RFT to these and they are far better and a more popular replacement here in the UK. I have the 20" wheels.

On my E60 M Sport I went to normal tyres from RFT and it made a huge difference, but the ride with the Pirelli's RFT is good and the suspension on the F07 is not too hard in the M Sport guise which I have.

What's the preference for non RFT? The ride, the cost, that they can't be repaired?

thank s
After some more research I will go with The Michellin
main reason
thread life I think i can go up to 40k + miles before needing to replace
so i can get twice the life time of a RFT
also the ride quality and low noise level
I have 3 other cars that run on Michelin Primacy MX4 and they are super good
so i wanted to confirm if the Michelin A/S3 will be as good

well I went today to order the Michelin from the Costco tire center only to find that the Load Index required for this card is 102 and the speed rating is V
the michelin are 98 W even the speed rating is ok but the Load index is not
compatible . so back to square one .......

searching tire rack site and filtering the tire by the load index and speed rating
gave this option

Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2
Kumho ECSTA 4S
Pirelli P Zero
Yokohama Advan Sport A/S
this are all ultra performance all season

so what to choose

Cannot fault the Michelin Pilot Sport had them now off and back on for summer and it was instant superior feel very good feel to the car I mainly drive on country roads A and B roads with nice challenging corners and the grip is perfect, after all they tend to be the official fitted tyres for the M cars.

This is late but curious to know what you chose. I have hankooks on my GT and love them.

I end up with the Pirelli P Zero and I am very pleased with the ride
