or just put up with RFT's, bewary of the tyre insurance, read the t&c's the bmw uk version of the policy usually stipulates a minimum tread depth of 3mm across middle 75% of tyre (when the legal limit is only 1.6mm here) also if your rft's are 19"+ and low profile then you might find you'll be paying the differance per tyre as these policys usually set a max limit for tyre price.

Just my 2p's worth, hope its helpful.
I will have a bottle of tire fix foam with me at the least in case I change to non-RFT.
