I totally agree, happened to me as well in rainy weather, a screw was stuck in there, thanks to the runflat, we were able to get home and then got the RFTs repaired at a shop the next day. I definitely realized the value of RFTs and will get them again.

Still don't like all the electronics but am happy with the 70!!
I am thinking of changing oil myself, concerned about how easy it is to get under the car to remove the lug and drain it? Then the issue of disposal? Worth the time and effort?
