'got us over 50k on our 2019 'stones; replaced em with (all we could get at the time) Pirelli RFT P Zero 's - and these feel like ballet slippers by comparison
replacing any performance car tires with 50k on them with any new tires will be a joyous revelation.

unless you don't want to be stuck somewhere with a flat tire.
The extended mobility kit that came with my M850’s HP tire and cooling pkg has an 12v electric pump and a can of goo to temp seal a leak if needed. I’d imagine if a large blow out occurred it wouldn’t be sealable at all and I’m not even sure a RF would be too much help. The bottom line is the extra comfort and better handling of non-RF’s is a trade off for the extra piece of mind one gets from the RF’s. Some have purchased a jack and doughnut spare which is the best choice.

It all depends Bit. You have times where thereis slow leak over night. In the case of a blow out neither have a chance.
Tires do not usually Blow Out from The Puncture. They blow out from heat build up from Driving on the low pressured tire After the puncture. The LC TPMS should give you notice of a low tire in Plenty of time to restore proper pressure with a small pump. I had a puncture for 2 days before it was repaired. The tire never went below 28-30 lbs pressure. Sometimes you can park with the puncture at the Very Bottom of the tire and it won't leak at all as long as it's parked. Bruce in Fl

In all the years that I’ve been driving, I have never suffered a complete loss of air while on the road. Sure, all of us have probably picked up a nail which causes the tire to loose pressure slowly. Left unattended, your tire goes flat. Just like B… said; TPMS will alert immediately of any deviation in pressure levels of your tires….. I only drive my LC locally. I carry an air pump and a tire patch kit in all my vehicles for emergencies…. For most of my tire emergencies, that is more than enuf....
Combination of 12V air pump and one of these will work as long as hole is on thread area. If its on sidewall its usually not safe to fix it on the road or at all anyway. I would use patch goo only as last resort. It makes a mess inside tire and wheel. But its probably only option for most people on side of the road.
