I just switched from RFT to non RFT. IMHO saying that cracks happen due to non RFT is pants. The difference in the hardness of the tyres is scary. I could barely compress the RFT while the nonRFT was soft as anything. The only thing I can think off its the other way round. The hardness of RFT and small profile would mean any shock would transfer to the wheel and hence cause damage. If anything going to nonRFT could save your wheels. At same time if you had damage aready caused, just chaning the tyres could make things worse. Watching the eventtyres guy wrestle with my 17" made me wince.

With 17" theres at least a lote more rubber than on 19" or 20" hate to see those being changed
