Non-RFTs - affect sell-on price?

[a11y]

Now, I've only just got my Z4 but thinking ahead for future for a sec...

I'm going to fit non-RFTs regardless of the answer to this Q, just a case of when. Has anyone had experience of non-RFTs reducing their sale price, or making their Z4 harder sell? i.e. have they been seen as a negative point by potential buyers? Obviously I'd guess if you were trading the car into a BMW dealer they'd have something to say about the lack of RFTs, same with leased cars, but I'm never in a million years going to be trading my Z4 into a BMW or any other dealer so not an issue for me.

My dilemma is this: my current tyres (Bridgestone RFTs) are coming to the end of their life: 3.5mm left on the rears but plenty on the fronts. So, should I:

a) buy and fit non-RFTs ASAP and save the RFTs for refitting when I sell the car on?

or

b) run my RFTs down to the limit, bin them rears (but sell the fronts), and then fit non-RFTs?


(I'll be fitting them to all four corners regardless of the fronts condition)

Decisions decisions :? . What do you all think?

Cheers

c) take the RFTs off and then if/when you sell the car on, ask the new owner which he prefers.

Hmmmm, I like that...

Storage isn't an issue either - completely unused loftspace above the garage.

Excellent question i am in the same boat but have small OEM alloys to sell or store

I bought mine with non RFT's on. I was glad as its something I would have done anyway once the RFT's had worn down.

Cheers folks

I've got new tyres ordered and (hopefully) being delivered today. I'm taking the Z4 off the road for a couple of weeks soon so that I can refurb the alloys, then refit with the new tyres. So yes, I'm taking the RFTs off while they're still OK and will store them for future
