Run Flat yes or no?

Part of the question could be decided on profile. I had 30/35s on one E class and it went through 7 tyres in the year due to punctures at roadworks mainly on the m1. Latest E class has 17s, old man tyres and a proper spare in the boot. I ride in comfort.

I have 245/40/19 F and 275/35/19 R and they had done 29,000 and been on the car since new. so not too shabby.

At least Mercedes have the decency to put spare wheel wells in the boots of their cars.
BMW.....nah

There is space in the X1.

I know, I bought a spare and jack etc.

Normal tyres for me over run flats, my current car is a GLC that has Michelin SUV tyres and I cannot remember the last time I had a puncture it’s certainly many years.

I suppose to compare though you would need to try both variations on the same car but where to do that?
