The price difference is a little bit higher for RFT but wasn't sure if it was worth it. Also is there any other better sites to buy winter tires from? I want something good with a reasonable price. Thank you for any kind of help.
The RFT is the run-flat versions. Try doing a search by tire size and all the other tires will show up.

Thanks, searched it by size and now its giving me either blizzak or michelin pilot alpin pa2. Any idea which is better/more reliable? And what is run flat exactly? I have no idea what that means.

You can still drive on them when they're flat but not for long distances or high speed. Most cars with no space for a spare tires include them.

I have the Blizzak lm-60 but still havent had a chance to try them in the snow yet. Are you looking for winter performance or studless winter tires?

Try looking up the reviews on them.
