Speaking of the RFT, in case of flat tire, the RFT can give driver to get a tire shop to fix the issue (driving 50 miles @50 mph).
However, what about the flatted tire after 50-mile driving? I think the tire would have additional damage by 50 miles.
So, probably, non-repairable!
If you have a spare tire, you can escape any dangerous place to a safe place to change it.
With RFT, there is no spare tire.

Can Anybody explain true benefits of the RFT?

The Continentals I put on are CONTROL CONTACT SPORT SRS. They have done very well. There may be a better model when next I replace, but I have used this brand and similar model in 3 LS’s I have had. 2007, 2013 and now my 2018 which I have put over 80k miles since buying. The first set on the 2018 went about 45k miles and I am almost done on second set. First thing I did when I bought the 2018 with run flats was to replace them at 14k miles on the clock when I purchased the vehicle.
