What's with that? We all know RFT are better than non rft just because you can go on even if you have loose all the air. But that doesn't mean they are better tires overall than non rft ones. The snow test was almost the same thing as in the dry test. You can't move on, if you loose all the air in a non rft, and it won't matter if it's in snow or dry. With a rft you can move on...that's the point of the rft.
But of course, for racing hard on dry tarmac i still support the non rft. IMO the only advantage that you get with the rft is the ability to keep going, either that that only disadvantages.

[/quote]Likewise? We all knew that's what run-flats are about. Go when punctured.
I swapped RFT's for non-RFT's as I reckon the advantages of non-RFT's are greater than the disadvantages. Nobody likes getting a puncture and having to stop, at possibly some dangerous location, to change. Even with a RFT puncture, you still have to change the tyre at some stage and possibly replace the whole tyre at somewhat more expense.
However, I've had two punctures in 5 years and the last one was in 2003. (Blast. Maybe I'm due one now. Give my my RF's back ). So I think I'll take the chance, hope that I don't get one soon and enjoy the relative quietness and comfort that the RFT's cannot give. Neither will I be travelling in avalanches of snow so there is not the requirement there. Maybe, with the next generation of RFT's when they achieve peace and quietness, I'll change back.
