Check it out. might be good for those who want RFT peace of mind but don't like breaking their spines driving on them.

While the OEM Bridgestone Turanza EL42 RFT is much better than the early problematic 2006~07 versions, it doesn't set the bar very high - even for a "touring all-season".

However, the 960 AS RFT does look like a good option for those who wish to run all-season run flats.

I'd love for someone to try these out... I might put them on my daily Kia Forte if theyre any good. RFT security truly is nice to have, just probably not on the harsh BMW suspension.
