I had 3 punctures at the same RFT tyre in different locations within the duration of 7 months..I travel a lot and sometimes speed the car at 230++kmh..Touch wood I had no issues unil today. Total of 5 punctures at 2 of the tyres..Next week I'm getting new tyres simply because the old ones are already nearly 'botak'..So dont worry.. as of my personal experience you can still use the punctured tyre once you have patched it.. and I only use the RM5 patch...still no issues.. This is my second set of tyres.. the first original RFT was punctured 4 times..3 at the same tyre and still no issues,...I wonder why some of us are too scared to use the same tyre once puntured.. have faith...if not non RFT are bound to explode sometimes and cause death accidents...at least the manufacturers are confident that if you blow up a RFT tyre it would still run..see the Bridgstone RFT commercials...anyway this is my 2 sen worth of opinion...yours might be different..
peace no war bros...
aww... the RFT tire sounds really fragile , or our M'sia road condition are so bad? I had driven my previous car with Non RFT tires(made in japan) can last me 2 years ++ without any problem or punctures before (TOUCHWOOD!!) , and i'm staying in KL/PJ area.
 
Puncture tyres coz nail is not related to time u use it. My next door neighbor is doing renovation & i had punctured tires 4 times in a short span of times....lucky its RFT. 2x on same rft tires. Also same period of time, got 3 more punctures on normal tires for another car.

1st time i sent to bmw coz cautious abit. Got charged rm25. After that i just went for rm5 patch. No issue patching rft.

I prefer rft for safety reason.
