Tire technology is changing as are roads, back in the day tire punctures where very common, now not so much.
Stats show that most spare tires are NEVER used.
Also having decent tread WILL protect you.
Of course there are accidents.
my wife's caravan only 1 since 2009, and that was becuase i removed a screw before doing a summer/winter change over DOH
in my neon, 4 years nothing
runflats are a false economy, once you get a puncture GENERALLY shops wont repair them, if you drive on for any length, you will need them replaced and the cost of 1 RFT can buy 2 goflats

I haven't driven on RFTs for about 5 years now. The OEMs on my 2009 135i were a little like driving on bricks. Have there been any improvements?
