IMO, it would be more useful in European countries where tyre repair/replacement shops are not commonly available unlike here locally.But I'd say for someone who normally only travels in the city, the need is less since tire shops are everywhere. It would boils down to how often you travel outstation & the type of area you normally travels to. It would come in handy when you're travelling outstation on highways or remote areas here though.RFTs are known to have harder sidewall, some may love it for better handling or some may complain over the bumpier ride. Most E90 owners I known have since switched to non-RFTs as they cost less, more variants to choose from & easier to source.The cons of having non-RFTs is that you would require a spare tyre just in case.There's an on-going discussion on GT Radial Champiro HPY, which offers decent performance but doesn't hurt your wallet. You may wanna check that out as well.</blockquote>
