I have a recent set of Pirelli Scorpion Verde RFTs and love them. I recently had a major sidewall blowout after hitting a huge pothole. With the RFT I was able to drive (slowly) the rest of the way home, pickup a spare I saved from the last change and then to a tire store a few miles away. All this was with a hole in the sidewall I could literally stick my entire hand in.

The best part? Pirelli replaced the tire for free under their road hazard warranty. Not many tire manufacturers do this.
