Harry, I guess you are thinking to go with conventional tyres instead of RFT ones due to lack of comfort, right? Which RFTs do you have? I use Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFTs on 17" wheels and, after 2 months and nearly 2000 kms, I got used to them. Comfort is acceptable (although I feel every bump and cavity on the road) but the grip is fantastic!

Of course, RFTs cannot be compared (even the latest generation) with the conventional tyres in terms of comfort.

I've heard (please guys correct me if I am wrong) that the F20 suspension setup was optimized for RFT tyres. Would it be OK to put conventional tyres? Also, regarding conventional tyres, I've heard that you may gain in comfort but you may lose in the feel of the steering wheel and suspension.

Personally, I prefer to feel the bumps but steer when and how I want. However, if I had the chance to test conventional tyres, I would do so.
