[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 15496424, member: 171475"] Personally, no. However I know and work with several people who've had them in BMWs and Mini Coopers. They are expensive, rob performance, limit tire selection and are a PITA to deal with when installing new tires. The OEMs only use them so they can get away with not including a donut because of space constraints. In 16 years of driving I've never had a blow out nor a flat that damaged a wheel. I also don't know anyone that has ever had a flat damage a wheel. I'm sure run-flats are also going to limit what size wheel you can run as well. Run Flats are great for their original purpose - when you are off road or in combat and are simply unable to change a wheel at that moment. For a daily driver they seem rather stupid. Get a full size spare, a cell phone or AAA. [/QUOTE]
