Maybe because I'm not so lucky as you. With the 116i runflats in 5 years (90,000kms) I've got five times flat tyres (three of them with large puncture!) and guess when? On my holidays ofcourse...

I paid a lot of money in replacing RFT tyres for this shit again and again... Probably is because of the bad road conditions unless I'm the EuroTop unlucky guy! Before that with my Audi A3 I have never had a flat tyre driving in the same roads for 4 years even with a lower profile (205/45/17 non run flat). Driving was much more comfortable and soft with the non RFT tyres..

Its more than obvious to me that run flats are shit. Maybe this is the reason I'm so afraid now and makes me want to put a spare wheel on the trunk and replace the 17'' RFT combination with the 18'' non RFT.
