G20 with RFTs vs. conventional tires

Has anyone driven a G20 with RFTs and with regular tires for comparison? The car seems to drive fairly harsh-free on RFTs, but I would assume the ride on goflats would be even better. Are there any downsides to the conventional tires such as soft handling, reduced turn-in, etc.?

Mine came equipped with RFTs and I could feel every little imperfection in the road. I've noticed no drawbacks going from my RFTs to PS4S tires.

I see. So are you just carrying some kind of tire kit in the trunk? Had you considered ordering with the spare tire option?

I thought about ordering the spare tire add on but I've been told it takes up a large amount of space in the trunk so I just ordered the mobility kit instead.
