I did a fair bit of research on run flats prior to buying and decided I didn't want the hassle or expense of replacement (if even possible in country Australia). I blew two tyres on a trip to Jindabyne (500kms from Sydney once) and didn't want to be in that situation again with run flats. It would still be a problem but easier to replace in the country.

I swapped my Pirelli p7 run flats for non run flat Pirelli p7s. The tyre dealer did it at no cost and I bought a spare rim so I just swapped 4 run flats for five regulars and we were both happy.

Like AusX1, if I've got a long trip planned, I'll just take the spare with me as a back up. Not exactly ideal but a solution I can live with. The drive and handlng on the non run flats is great.
