There are no downsides to this tire. The absolute perfect choice of safety and time are the two most important things to you. If not, find a different tire. There just aren't any downsides to this premium tire. It handles road hazards /pot holes better than anything else and your rims will thank you. 1st hand experience with a blowout at highway speeds and was worth every single penny and more. Drove home safely on a ZERO pressure tire just as advertised 50mph, at least 10 miles.

Both the most expensive and the worst tire I've owned. What they don't tell you about RFT is that it will get you to the tire shop without changing tires if it goes flat, but the drive destroys the inside of the tire. This happened with a nail. Second tire had sidewall rupture at normal highway speed. Happened again 2,000 miles later on the replacement. This issue is all over the BMW forums. Don't buy this tire.

Nice tires. Put them on my Ford Fusion, and they look nice. Can't go wrong with Bridgestones. They ride smooth and the ride noise is low. Will recommend to another person.
