Hahahaha Beamer28,

Well if can save why not kakakakaka...

In actual fact, the RFT is quite noisy and rough. I was told by some friend that I should move to non RFT as is more comfortable.

In actual fact the RFT has increased in price from RM800 to RM1250 pp. With this price I can get a very good high performance tyres and have a nice comfort....kakakaka

So I m just exploring this opportunity now...oh ya heard a lot of bad things of RFT too smile.gif

There is no problem in switching to normal tyres. I am sure the ride is better and quieter. However if punctured, what happens. There is no place to store a spare. smile_blush.gif

You can buy a mobility kit and that will take care of it. The mobility kit comes with a air compressor and adapters for the tire valve. Or you can consider Tire Guardian, a sealant filled into your tires and it is good for 2 years with guarantee. You can also extend the guarantee for an additional one year (2+1).

I have a mobility kit from Slime. The last time I checked the kit is out of stock from ACE, Pyramid, only the sealant refill is available. Just an idea for you if you want to change to normal tires.

Have wheels will ride, beats walking.

Non-RFT more comfy and can last longer too. But must get tyre repair kit first, in case got puncture since most new beemer don't have spare tyre or jack.

Sorry for the late reply just to got to read it. Please go to the link below, click Malaysia/Singapore tab and go to "contact us" tab, further down the column you find the address of the distributors.

Btw, I have no connection with this Co. just a motorist looking for options to replace my RFT with normal tires.

The genuine BMW Mobility Kit should be good too. I think RM500+ for the kit, you only have to top up the sealant after each reuse.
