RFT to Non-RFT Switch

no_ball · 10-04-2010, 03:37 PM

Dear all
After 3 months of ownership of my 56 plate 330d M Sport, seriously contemplating changing the tyres to non-rft's all round.

Does not help that previous numpty owner has RFT on the front and non-rft on the rear.

Can someone suggest possible replacements, budget around £300 for the 4 tyres, primary benefit being more comfortable ride with good grip in the wet.
Thanks

Falken FK 452, £380 fully fitted (4); Event tyres. 17" wheels - yours may be larger/wider, therefore slightly more.

+1 for the Falken 452's

Thanks Guys, should I stick to the same size as those currently fitted or go up a size on the tyre width?

Depends on your wheel size. Mine are 19" and I think the Falken rear size is only available in the wider tread in 19" so you have to go up a little.
