Pic request:469m rims with non RFT

Mo_far · 04-23-2021, 05:43 AM

Thinking about replacing RFTs with non RFT in the next tyre change. Does anyone have a pic to see how they look on the car for comparison? Haven’t found anything on Google images or here

Other than different sidewall markings, the tire size and profile will be the same.

Not much asthetic difference. That being said, go non-RFT, the way to go for sure. I cant wait to get rid of my OEM Bridgestones.
Lots of people put the Contii DWS06 on, some pictures probably floating around if you search that here.

Here's my winter setup - 469's with Michelin Alpin PA4 non-runflat.

I know where the OP is coming from though. I don't like the way the sidewall and thread look on the DSWs, hence would never buy them for my X5.

Yeah the runflats Bridgestone look more square... Wider. But I'm not going to buy a tire just because it looks beefier.

Thank you all appreciate it. Got a baby and wife says RFTs are too harsh on speedpumps etc and obviously I've heard many here mention a major difference in ride comfort when switching to non rft

Vredestein all season non-rft in OEM size. Much softer and excellent in wet and snow as well.

Do you guys carry a spare when you switch to non-RFT?

You can buy a spare, if you didn't get one from factory, and assuming you don't have 3rd row seats.

I have the 3rd row, so I carry a plug kit and air inflator (hopefully never have to use it)
