I have a CLS55 on original 19" alloys, which as anyone who has the same will know, are very prone to cracking and therefore punctures. Because of this I carry a space saver spare wheel in the boot (from CLS63 I think). It's actually in the boot, not under the boot floor there's no room for it there. I know from experience tyre foam doesn't always get you out of a sticky situation.
I'm thinking about buying run flats, but was advised by a local tyre fitter that "due to the harder side walls", they were even more likely to crack my alloys than standard tyres.
Any thoughts/experience on this? I'd like to free up my boot space, but not at the expense (quite literally!) of even more cracked alloys....
