RFTs are terrible (heavy, expensive, and noisy). On the plus side, they do work as designed, allowing you to drive without air for 50-100 miles. Plus, the side walls are stiffer than conventionally tires. |
Yes there are always exceptions and you were just lucky. I guess if you ask enough tire shops your bound to find one who will eventually say yes.
Before I dumped my RFT Discount Tire wouldn't fix my Run Flat that had a screw in the tread and wasn't even leaking air. Neither would Goodyear when I went to them. AND don't even ever ask a BMW dealer to repair a RFT!!: bellyroll
