Not so much luck as it is a function of where you live. And I have 3 cars... 3 times the probability.
Don't get me wrong... I'm not advocating RFTs.
I dislike the fact that BMW doesn't give us a spare, even if a doughnut.
I wouldn't mind paying for one, if only they included room for a spare in their designs.
Without that, I don't think it's worth the hassle... unless you treat the streets like a race track on your every day commute. The limits of the car, even with RFTs, is WAY beyond what regular traffic allows.
Moding for the sake of moding I understand... but when it cuts into function and practicality I have to draw the line.

RFT doesn't cause blow outs. RFTs were designed to prevent blowouts.
Perhaps you have your thoughts mixed up.
