At BMW today to get my TPMS computer swapped, they came out and said my tires are at 2/32nds, told me it would be 1500 for 3 new tires.....anyone ditch the RFs and not look back?

Non rft is the way to go.. day and night.
Also, no matter what type of tires you choose, don't buy them from dealer.

If you have a square set, I really like the Bridgestone Driveguard's; have them on my wife's 2012 535i. I swapped the Michelin ROF's that came on my 535i m-sport to Michelin Pilot Super Sport's and honestly can't tell much of a difference between the 2 sets.

My plan is to maybe get new wheels and either way just goto NTB and get a new set of tires. I have heard that newer RFTs r leaps and bounds better than the older ones.

got rid of my RF's as soon as i got bubbles on the sidewall. BMW said it was my fault and not theirs. i forgot what ridiculous price they gave to me 5 years ago but i remember laughing at the SA's face. best decision ever when i went to non RF's to this day
