I didn't miss anything. You made claims and I questioned how those were RFT specific when any tire would be effected the same. Was hoping you'd have some insight I didn't know about...but, you don't.

And the point you missed is that I already said I don't buy RFTs, so no one is "getting me". To take that further, a RFT costs more to produce and is heavier resulting in higher shipping costs - this results in a higher cost to the consumer. Where is your data that shows RFTs have a higher profit margin as compared to a non RFT?

For the record, I'm not here trying to argue with you. I'm actually interested in knowing more about the subject discussed.
