Just wondering if anyone has tried these high performance tires on their GT. Everyone says they are the best tires ever. I have a snow setup for winter so I'm just wondering if they really are that good and would like some feedback. I'll probably try them myself anyway because I really want to see what all the talk is about and if they really are that good and that much fun!

Interested in what people are running in general. Need to replace the OEM Conti's pretty soon and was debating on whether or not I wanted to stick with RFT's. (Definitely ditching Contact 5)

ive got pirelli pzero 19's. Noisy as fuck but all 4 are new. The contis I had previously were no better. Once theyre worn i will replace them with non rft's

Just bought a set yesterday actually. Went from 225/5018 to 245/45/18.
With RFTs the ride is way too bouncy. I say ditch them asap

Car seems to have come squared on the 437 sport 18". Anyone running staggered?

RFTs ride harder, not softer. If your new tires give a firmer ride it's because of their lower aspect ratio, which makes for shorter sidewalls.

I need to get a new set soon too. I’ve got Conti 5 RFT staggered on 19s at the moment and not sure what to do next. I was thinking about just replacing like for like. I’ve not had any real issues with them and it handles a lot better than my previous 5-series on RFTs so don’t have much to compare them to.
There doesn’t seem to be many matching staggered options for the 19s showing up for me either for the GT sizes.
Is anyone running the Michelin’s on 19s and are they * marked or does that not matter?

[KRS_SN]

oem options for 19 in staggered are only either pirelli pzero rft or continental contisport ssr(uk). All 4 tyres need to be the same brand if xdrive.

I have a new set of Conti 5 SSR RFTs, but will remove them for Michelin AS3+.

I don't usually run all-seasons, but I bought this car specifically to go to our mountain home in Lake Tahoe. From what I read, the AS3s don't give up much in dry performance.

On my F80 M3, I ran PSS specifically, but they wore out fast.

Currently using PS4S for my GT320, great tyre performance I think.

I ended up going MPS A/S 3+ at 245/45/18. They were only mounted yesterday, though. Initial review = thumbs up so far.

same tire on the staggered fitment.
much better than the rfts that came with it.
even got me though the winter which is a great plus.
