19" X5d rims - what non RF-tire?

Hello -

Anyone replace with something non - rft? What, and how do you like them?

10,000 miles into my LS2 on a 535GT and cannot wait to get rid of them. I had Michelin Energy on. Any other suggestions

Thanks!

Delinte Desertstorm D8 - love them - ride and handle great in all weather conditions (haven't tested snow yet, but will soon). Inexpensive tires by a company owned by Yokohama, believe it or not. I recently found this out.

Didn't see my size, thanks!

Looking at Continental CrossContact LX20's over Michelin.

The highest rated by consumers and Consumer Reports seem to be:

- Continental CrossContact LX20 with EcoPlus Technology (a bit better handling compared to below) $900
- Michelin Latitude Tour HP (a bit lower rolling resistance compared to above for better MPG) $1300

$400 difference is a lot of rolling resistance cash/diesel :-) Thanks!

My local BMW offers 3 for price of 4, and free storage for "winter tires". The RFT's wil be going there until lease turn in.
