and your other 4.........
Alan, I think Bill picked the most important one
my RFT are still on the wheels resting in the garage (put out to pasture so to speak) while I enjoy my winter Michelin ICE Non-RFT. My car will never ever again see RFT as for the other 4 points ... they are all good picks and for some Members here an important choice. I like the car just the way she was designed by the two ladies.
BTW my winter tires are fantastic, great grip, smooth ride and very quiet
Inspired by this thread, went to look at the sound generator on mine in the office car park at lunch. About 5 minutes later I was back at the desk with one of the foam chunks removed. Really is that easy.
TBH, not noticing a massive difference in noise, but only a week in so still being fairly gentle on the car, trying to minimise the risk, given that I'm trying to get used to it and rear wheel drive during lots of frosty/icy weather! So I'll take everyone's word that it sounds better

Might need to remove more foam, although TBH I notice the most difference in mine under harder acceleration and at higher (3k+ revs) - neither of which are best suited to the current weather/road conditions...benlumley said:Inspired by this thread, went to look at the sound generator on mine in the office car park at lunch.

MFSW = MULTI FUNCTION STEERING WHEEL.
RFT a lot of people do not like the ride quality and general feel of them when driving but ive had my Z for 3 years now and find them OK yes the car tramlines a bit but so do a lot of cars on wide low profile tyres especially on our crap roads take the Z to France and it drives like a dream.
Dont get me wrong occasionally it can catch you out on a bad road and move to one side but just have to keep your wits about you.
They also say its crashy but as i have said before to me its not that bad just a bit bouncy and again in Europe its fine plus i like the idea that a RFT can stay on the rim at a high speed if you have a sudden loss of air and can be driven home safely at 50mph so no worries about picking up a puncture on those nice sunday runs and more room in the boot.
Coming from a Dax Cobra you will find the Z4 on RFT quite tame would imagine the Dax was a handfull.
Thanks yet again Gaza - yes the Cobra could be a handful 
But I'm looking forward to getting the Zed - all I'll do for a while is just stand and look at it 
I've got RFT's on the 120 and don't mind the ride at all.
Now then young man, please could you explain a bit more about this sound generator thing - never heard of it before - it sounds like something they used to fit to Stukas !
