There really should be no issue in repairing a RFT or a non-RFT. The reason why they don't like to repair RFT is that they are very difficult to remove from the rim because of the very stiff sidewalls,,,and the price for repairing a RFT,,to some it's not worth it. I had a RFT repaired at a local shop,,charged me 18.50,,but it took them about 45 minutes of hard work to remove/patch/and replace the tire......

2008 4.8 with SP
20 inch bridgestone duelers RF. this gives a much more comfortable ride than our 2002 X5 SP with 19in tires. E90 with RFT was horrible. bought a spare wheel/tore and switched to regular tires. experienced a big improvement. |

However I think the reason many refuse is this: Tire can be driven on, and driven hard when flat- it can suffer overheating and internal trauma. This cannot always be ascertained by visual inspection- how it failed and how it was treated is critical. Owners lie. A shop may refuse simply as a risk management policy. |

If you had an e53 with 19" tires you had a 4.4 with Sport Package. And I believe those were (at least in OEM form) Michelin Diamaris which are a Z-rated tire and also a Summer tire---they won't ride as comfortable as the Duelers even with the Duelers being a RFT.

Here is another reason to skip the runflats:
Was in Costco yesterday and on a lark went into the tire shop to compare prices. Michelin Latitude 255/55/18: RFT $330 non-RFT $318 Not a big difference right? Until you look at the treadwear/mileage ratings. Non-RFT - 50,000 miles RFT - 30,000 miles In effect, you are paying almost double the price for the "convienence" of a bad/noisy ride and supposed piece of mind. |
