Had RFTs oe, on the Vette; they ran fine for 32K+ miles, if a lil' noisy at end of life; I switched to non-RFTs, for replacements, but that was simply to save a few bucks,
and maybe get a "better" tire, but it comes with the need for mini-compressor/plug kit, and luck, for long trips. The average tire joint won't have my Vette tires in stock, or an E70 species
RFT or non-RFT, either so "the tire not in stock" is a weak complaint, imo.
Daka, I am surprised you were surprised on the RFT only situ; it looks like you have been a BMW CCA member for a long time, and the Roundel Mag has pages of RFT
rant letters every issue. I would neither pick or pass over a car simply because it came with, or without RFTs, but everyone has their own bag.

PS: try turning off your car for those 10 min bridge openings.
