The only thing that keeps me from swapping out the wagon's lousy RFTs is the long stretch of cell phone dead zone we have on the way to the house in Rappahannock. For about 8 miles and until we get to the house, there's no way to call for help, if needed.

I carried a donut spare in the M3 for that reason (and there was enough of a well in the trunk to mostly handle it--the newer cars don't have the vestigial place for the spare.)

But I would love to put some non-RFT tires on the wagon...And I might just make them Pilot A/S as well, so as not to worry about the random snow flake early/late in the season.
