RFT give a pretty harsh ride and are expensive to replace. That's why some MINI owners switch. On the other hand, they do give piece of mind if you do get a pressure leak and many drivers get used to the ride characteristics.


The other question to ask yourself.... how many flats have you had in your current driving environment? Would AAA or other roadside assistance be good enough? I also carry Slime and a small compressor.
