hey maximk, get rid of your RFT's for NON RFT's. This will continue happening even if you don't hit stones. The RFT's are very bad tires and it's been well documented. Just buy 4 new high performance tires for the price of 1 RFT. You will be very happy.

1 tire- Bridgeston RFT: $600
4 tires-Staggered NON RFT Bridgestones: $689.99.

You tell me which is a better deal.

jsut keep in mind that since oyu dont have a spare, you probably should get one of those quick patch kits for flat tires and a portable compressor for emergency air
