I'll probably have the R thru most of the winter so I'll just use up the rft's, but I'll almost likely go with snows next winter.

To 17" or to 16" is the question. I still think I rather go with summer tires vs rfs.

I tried to get the OEM RFTs at the last minute late last fall, and was unable to. No one had any RFTs in stock in the right size. Got some non-RFT Bridgestones, but honestly, I kind of do miss the security of the RFTs. Having them saved my ass one night last spring, heading home from NYC with the family.

Did the ride improve? Are you on 17"s? Do you have the sports suspension?
