[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 261309, member: 81"] My experience is consistent with yours. The PS2 I had on my ex car 18's were remarkably comfy and quiet. I'm running a set of Toyo's TR1 now with the new wheels on my car, and it really drones more compared to the RE050A II RFTs. Also not as comfy and supple as the PS2s from what I remember. PS2's will be my first choice when its time for a replacement of the current Toyos Danc, yea, the major flaw with the RFTs is that to compensate for the super stiff sidewalls, manufacturers give really soft rubber for the thread to provide some level of comfort. The Potenza RE050As were threadwear 140 only, worse compared to the Pirelli RFTs. The more I think about it, seems like the RFTs were really a major flaw in concept (at least for this current gen RFTs). I guess thats why BMW doesn't shod their flagship M cars with RFTs. [/QUOTE]
