From the suspension point of view I like mine more. So from 17" RFT to 18" NonRFT I like it more, much more. First thing I noticed is that if I drive over a bump the vehicle is more refined. Those RFT are terrible at absorbing shocks. The comfort definitely improved.

Handling wise is pretty similar, however I found that the NonRFT tires tend to be a little bit softer in the curve but after I got home and compare them I realized that those Continental tires are not very "squarish" on design, they are curving from the middle of the wall towards the rolling surface of the tire which is narrower than the previous RFT and that will compromise a little bit but not much. Next time, I will try something wider and more square but definitely NonRFT.
