I thought I didn't mind the RFTs either... then I had Michelin PSS's installed. It rides and drives like a different car. Absolutely love them. So much smoother and quieter now.

Yeah, theyre run flats. I didn't expect much out of them.. and well they were actually a little better than I had thought; but still pretty horrible.. lol

I have some RS3's but no rims to mount em on and I wasn't looking to dismount the RFs.

The car handled well in my opinion. Obviously the brakes are pretty subtle on track and no real tire grip but the potential of the car is obvious.

I only ran a few laps at about 60% and the car had already gotten pretty hot (it was 90 degrees out).

It was a good baseline though, happy to know that with a sticky street tire and some upgraded pads the 1 would be a legit beast on track. Oh, not to mention probably invest in some oil coolers as well. I don't think I would want to rely on just water wetter.
