Got em, 1700 miles and no problems and plenty of tread.
I heard bad things from others about RFTs, in the rain but I just drove from Montreal to NYC in a blistering storm and they handled superbly.

Maybe the tire is still new.

But even on dry roads, the RFT seems to bounce over the road a bit. Could be the stiff sidewall.
