+1. Went 15 years without a flat or puncture. Got an '07 with stock RFT's and had to replace two tires, under warranty, due to punctures.

I took mine to Vegas. Its only about 800 miles round trip but she did fine. With the hurricanes in the gulf right now, I have my bags packed incase I need to make a 4,000 mile trip to New Orleans.

I drove mine to form houston to los angeles to vegas back to houston. No problem. I put my oem runflat in the trunk just in case.

I made a 1000 mile round trip drive last summer. I was going to put my OEM wheel in the trunk as a spare but it weighed too much. Now I don't drive too far from home so I don't worry about it. I prob should get the BMW donut spare from Tischer for long trips.
