I've been following the RFT debate since its inception, and over the years I've heard reports from well over 100 folks who've thrown their RFTs in the trash (often before they're worn out) and replaced them with Gets Flat Tires (GFTs). Guess what? Not a single one of them has even remotely considered switching back. Why? GFTs cost less, ride better, handle better, are often much quieter, and they usually last longer.
 
Best regards,
Shipo

I'd go with the Direzzas- you'll increase comfort and grip.

Just make sure you make accomodations for a flat should it happen. Portable air compressor, a can of fix-a-flat, and perhaps a simple repair kit would be cheap, easy investments...
 
That's what I did in my 6 Series.

Guys,
I have a 2007 530i with premium sound pkg. I notice some of you talking about "logic" sound. What's the difference? Is that an additional package?
Just curious, thanks.

thanks for the tips guys! i think i will definitely be going with the GFTs and get some fix a flat and compressed air can.
 
how much stock can you put in those tire tests.....as the Bridgestones i mentioned had higher marks (wet, dry traction, handling, etc.) than the Direzzas, but then i am getting a good recommend on this site for the Direzzas? which i do appreciate as i was leaning toward the Direzzas except for the test scores on tirerack.

The premium radio is the Harmon-Kardon, Logic 7. To me it sounds better than the standard radio but I'm not sure it's worth the premium in price.

How much over invoice is your price? Off hand, it doesn't sound bad.

the base invoice price is around $42000 and i have added some options as i mentioned in the previous message.the dealer had given me $2500 approx. off on MSRP ($51225) which is after adding options.so according to your reply so i can go paying $48000 finally with those options.
