So I was quite thrilled when the TPM message came on last week and I had to replace my right rear tire due to a nail

I'm planning to swap out all 4 tires next year with non-RFT's because the tread life/cost just doesn't make sense to me
Not sure on yours if you have a full size spare--again, the main issue of going non-RFT after having RFT with no spare is the safety benefit especially with having kids in the car, etc. Some have suggested going non-RFT and putting a can of Fix-A-Flat in the car.
