If I notice flabby tyres, I will get to a near by petrol kiosk to pump the soft tyres and to see if sharp object stuck on the tyres. If yes, then hit straight to the tyre shop to get them to remove the object and patch the tyre there and then. Done!As for car pre-fitted with RFT, the tyre pressure indicator still works ma. So u can still monitor the pressure from the cabin and u should get a warning if under inflate. That's the first symptom of suggesting ur tyre might have punctured by sharp object. Get it inspect immediately before its flat.So really, we don't need RFT, even without spare. Unless ur life is risking people shooting at u with a gun, then better stick to RFT! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
