I can’t even remember the last time I had a nail puncture, at least 10+ years. Must be my bad luck or these 19in run flats attract nails.

The wife hit a pothole and the right front had a leak. We made it home, I pulled off the wheel and took it to a reputable tire dealership here in St Paul, MN. They not only did not have the Goodyear RFT in stock, their usual supplier in Indy was also out. They had to have one shipped in from the east coast and it cost me over $400 and the vehicle was up on jack stands for 7 days. RFT's suck. At least give me the option of ordering a space saver or full sized spare.
