Sorry for the delayed response.
Thank you very much GerryC!! Followed your advice and found Non RF tires that will be the exact match of what I have now in RF tires. Also, found a spare kit in case I decide to go the NON RFT route (hehe, pun intended).
I just wanted an option in case I wanted to change the tires.
2 years ago I had a pretty big hole in the rear tire (RFT). We were 4 people in the car, plus some luggages. The tire went from 45 PSI to 0 PSI in 2 minutes.
I tried to put air in the tire, but it went out again in 2 minutes.
It was a Sunday evening (of course) so the AAA told us will be a while.
So, we decided to drive our car back home. It was 43 miles away. It took around 2 hours, not on the highway of course, but we made it. We left the car overnight in the garage, and then I took it to the dealership, another 2 miles. I got the tire installed, and there were no damages to the wheel or any other component of the car (suspension, axle, etc).
The manual says you can drive up to 50 miles on a perforated RFT.
So a total of 45 miles on a RFT, and it worked out just fine.
No dissing on the RFT, they worked just as promised.
Sorry for the long story, but just trying to share my experience.
Thank you all for the great advice!
