OEM Bridgestone 20" RFTs
Anyone that can speak to experience with the OEM Bridgestone 20" RFTs? Taking delivery of an MSport next week with these tires on the 740M wheels and considering swapping the tires out for winter tires instead and buying separate 22" setup for other 3 seasons.
Anyone know how long the 20" Bridgestone RFTs last and how they perform in mild winters of light snow as well as just generally? |

I've had my 20" Alenza RFTs on for 9 months (Feb - current), but I have low mileage in that time span (4300 miles), so I've plenty good tread still remaining. I'm in southeastern Virginia with 'mild' winters of occasional snow and average lowest temps 30-40°F.
they've been performing well without obtrusive road noise so far, yet the sidewall firmness can be felt at times depending on the road conditions/hazard. mind you that mine is a 45e with standard air suspension. |

I have them on my M50 and have been very happy with performance in the dry, wet, and snow. Went through 4" of snow with zero problems. I only have 8000 miles on the tires so far though

I had the same 740 M wheels and 20" tyres on my previous 2019 G05, and it gave me a hard/bumpy ride (Adaptive M Sport suspension only), probably attributable to the fact that they were RFTs.
I've got the 22" 742 M Bicolours now with non RFTs Contis, and they're brilliant - I get a more softer and compliant ride than the 20"s. My car has a spare tyre, so I dont need RFTs, and I'll be completely avoiding them in the future... |
