For a normally driven sports saloon, something in the 200-300 wear rating is good. Also there's no difference in threadwear rating between RFT and non-RFT versions of a particular tire range. The difference in RFT tires is only in the sidewall construction.When choosing tires, don't consider comments like: "xxx tire is half that price/yyy tire can last +60k/zzz tire gives better roadholding". Compare threadwear and traction ratings on the internet instead. All well known brands make good tires, but each range of tire, even within brands have their own qualities for specific reasons.My Michelin MXVs are cheap as far as Michelins go, can last almost 3x my Potenzas, and as the advertising goes, give better fuel consumption because they give less rolling resistance. Drawback: they're half as grippy as the Potenzas, especially in the wet. Would I use them in my 325i Sports? That would be like playing golf with top range Titleist clubs, but only wearing Bata shoes. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
