My S-Drive X1 came with 17" Goodyear Eagle RFTs and I did not find them to be particularly harsh in terms of the ride. When I switched them out last winter for Blizzak Snows, which are non-RFTs, I expected the ride to be softer with less impact over the expansion joints. I was surprised to find that there was very little if any improvement in the softness of the ride, which as I previously stated was acceptable, but not in the Lexus camp.

When I switched back to the Goodyear RFTs this spring I again noted no particular increase in the harshness of the ride. I only offer this observation as part of the ongoing discussion of RFTs and like the prior post, agree that these experiments are expensive and the more input from others the better in terms of deciding what to do.

I for one do not care to lug around a compressor or donut because of already limited cargo room in the X1.
