I put this in the current suspension thread but it applies here as well:


We may have had different experiences, but Discount Tire has patched a puncture on my RFTs in the past. They explained that their guideline is similar to non-RFT…tread puncture can be patched as long as not near/involving the sidewall. Not all RFT are the same and aspect ratio matters. The ride on the original 19” RFT Bridgestone Duelers is quite compliant and comfortable even while handling well and having good steering response. A benefit of RFT is not necessarily going 50 miles but going far enough from some questionable urban areas or highway shoulders to a safer location or all the way home without stopping to exit the vehicle and be vulnerable.
