I had a similar plan myself. I was going to replace RFTs at around 10K miles but after one full month of dealing with RFTs I am very close to getting rid of them any day now.
The only question is which ones to get? The proven AS3+ or the new Goodyear Exhilarate. According to the latest tirerack tests, Goodyears have the best wet traction and ride more comfortably than AS3+.
I am leaning towards AS3+ currently but may change my mind any moment.
BTW, my car came with newer GoodYear Eagle Sport All-Season runflat tires and the wet grip is exceptional. |
In my opinion go with a proven tire that has a lot of reviews on Tire Rack... I currently have the A/S 3+ but have also had 2 sets of the DWS06 which were very good too. Both are well reviewed and proven to wear well. Newer tires can be a crapshoot as far as wear and noise if there aren't any long term reviews.
