Yes, I am very happy with my non-RFT Michelin's. I gave up a tad bit of steering response for a MUCH better ride quality. And the dry and wet grip is way better now than with my OE Dunlap RFT's. What you will notice most is the car doesn't hop & skip around (over bumps) as much as it did with the RFT's. Even going over little dips on a flat road with RFT the car's tires would hop or feel like they would hang up in the air... now the car's suspension feels like it is working more in harmony - togther.

I would not go back to RFT's.

I do think I will go with the Performance suspension and probaboy the M3 control arms. But that is down the road some.
