Just wondering...why does BMW make so much fuss about equipping their cars with run-flat tires? The way I see it, it should be made optional given the fact they give very poor ride quality and they do cost more (in my humble opinion that is....then again...what do I know...)A can of wuss or a space saver wheel will do fine. How often do we have a puncture anyway. Out of VERY few times I had a puncture, the tire still had some fair amount of pressure in it, enough for me to take slow drive to the nearest petrol station and pump up the tire, before driving to the nearest tire shop to have it fixed...Personally, I rather have some good-old traditional tire with more comfort and should heaven decide that I get a flat tire...oh well...just pull over and change it. Any forumers here driving cars with run-flats and have junked them  in favour of higher performance/comfort tires? What do you guys think?</p></blockquote><p></p>
