Get an TPMS system will warn you in case of a nail and puncture plenty of time to get to a tyre shop.
I got this with the internal sensor version.

Of course nothing is going to help with a totally burst tyre even rft wont save you there.

I believe one of the reasons is what The Guardian (post following yours) has mentioned. I have never experienced driving with RFT so I can only rely on what others shared. Just that, I'm not sure how significant the negatives are because, like you said, I should only replace the RFTs after they are worned out.
That's assuring enough I guess. 'Cause I've heard (and also read some online) from some car owners that certain car models "consumed" EO quite heavily so to be mindful and constant check the EO level.
personal comfort level, ive seen people complain about RFT being hard then go and buy 20 or 21 inch rims with super skinny tyres just because it looks good but net net same effect as skinny tyres got to put higher PSI.

u only rely on your i drive to check EO level. Other way is visual inspection of the engine bay. i still think bmw is much safer as compared to Audi in this aspect.
Shall see.. hahaha.. but thanks!
Hi there, end of the day, we decided not to get SUV but went back to sedan ....lol
I was telling my sister who also drives the same car perhaps we should change our tyres and buy this

In Singapore probably won't need it but if we do drive to malaysia, safer to bring a kit with us.
Fuel efficiency higher with bigger or small rims?

Not exactly.. mine originally came with 20inch RFT package. You can imagine the magnitude of bumpiness.. That's why i changed to normal road tyres and its more comfortable. I'm running 250/260 kpa. Not sure if this is considered high Kpa/PSI.
Comfort is personal feeling
Smaller rirms = Better fuel efficiency
Smaller rims = Generally lighter
Smaller rims = Less expensive tyres
Smaller rims - Less prone to kerb rash
Smaller rims = Cheaper to repair / replace
Smaller rims = Generally higher profile tyres = less road vibrations
Oh I really didnt know this. Then why are we all chasing after big rims? haha
Looks nice. Too much $

Looks
Car rims is a very personal thing. How good it looks vary from person to person. If you can look past the aesthetics, then follow the list provided by rssid; won't go wrong. End of the day, whenever you approach your car, you should be smiling at her and enjoy each sight/view/glance.
