You'll prob notice a difference in handling since sidewall stiffness of RFT differs from normal. If you had non-RFT on front and RFT on back, I'll bet you had a little twitchy feel on cornering...just guessing.

This is exactly why I dumped my Potenza RFT's and went with the Conti DWS's... 4 of those are just over two RFT's cost wise... I had replaced one RFT and then got another puncture and said screw it! I would change and not think twice! I waited one tire puncture too long...

Its repairable! Find a place that has a plug/patch. Its a combo of both, and is the best way.....
