This is why I put on a second set of Conti RFT 245/45/18's but it was old technology, say, designed in around 2014. After being fed up with the ride and handling quality, I did a thorough search of all season high performance tires and found nothing new in my size in RFT. I did find a very highly rated recent (2019) design: Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 - 245/45/ZR18's "ultraperformance" and it is far far better riding and handling. This tire comes as an RFT on the newest Corvette C8 but not in my size. The car now feels more like a BMW should, especially with the stock 535d suspension.
