There’s a perfectly good reason why they’re called, “runflats.”

Yeah, they have highly-reinforced sidewalls and beads so a compromised tire can be driven on with low or no air pressure for a short distance to be able to get to a facility without a tow.

Runflat tires should never have a puncture repair performed, as the repair-er does not know how much damage has been done to the repair-ee by driving well beyond their capabilities of range and/or speed; runflats must always be considered compromised by a puncture. This sucks when a tire is near new, yet must be replaced due to a small nail.

Runflats are also so stiff and heavy as to ride like hell - akin to walking in shoes with solid steel flat soles, no arch support, no cushioning, no comfort.
