[QUOTE="MSport, post: 345638, member: 11049"] Allow me to comment - One of the most influential points for RFT is the high cost (where you can buy 2 non-RFT for the price of 1 RFT). The next in line is probably the treadwear, which is much lower than non-RFTs. Next would be the heavier weight of the RFTs and also the noise. I was made to understand that there is an enforced plastic moulded into the RFTs to support the RFT when it's "flat". Hence, the weight and noise. However, in terms of value, I believe RFTs outweigh the above. The need to not stop to change tyre (especially when it rains), safety during high-speed blowouts, ablility to still steer the car upon blowout, etc..... Can you put a value to this? That's why I still changed back to RFTs. Ooh! The wallet hurts terribly :20: , but I cannot compromise on safety when we only have about 4 A4 sized contacts of our beloved UDM with the road for grip. My 2 sens worth.... :wink: [/QUOTE]
