I have the OEM RFT for the summer and I am using non-RFT (since I had them already from my previous X3) snow tires for the winter. I have a jack and spare in the back, along with a mobility kit. I can't see throwing away 1 season old snow tires and replacing them with RFTs. Maybe I'll get RFTs for snows when they wear out.
I did spend $250ish buy TPMS for the wheels and to have them installed. What a scam, if you ask me. thank you US government for going with ACTIVE sensors rather than passive ABS type sensors! The ABS type worked fine on my '04 X3.
Good luck!
