Doesn't driving on a flat RFT actually destroy the tire? I guess the reason I want to get non RFTs to drive on during the lease is that they're cheaper than buying a new set of RFTs to return at the end of the lease. In my 16 years of driving, I've never had a blowout and I've only had nails maybe 2 or 3 times. But maybe my time is up  |
Yeah the tire is destroyed over time by high temperature and pressure on the sidewall. However, they are rated for about 50 miles at 50MPH or less. I have only put a few miles on them while flat so they are completely fine and repairable (as long as the nail isn't in the sidewall).
