Runflats saved me when I had a puncture driving down Shaftesbury Avenue (by Piccadilly Circus) in London rush hour!
There would have been no way to stop & change a tire without causing a backup worthy of making the local evening news!
But conversely, being without a spare caused me no end of grief when I took a road trip from London to Barcelona.
About halfway there I got a puncture.
Now where in the middle of France, on a public holiday weekend, do I get a replacement Pirelli P Zero N3 295/30ZR18?
The can of tire foam I had was useless in this instance & a runflat would not have comfortably got me the 700+ km's I had to complete my trip nor would it have got me the 900 km's back home again.
In the end, I called for Roadside Assistance who towed me & my car to Barcelona where I had to wait a week for a tire to be delivered & rent a Renault Laguna to get me around.
Now if I only had a spare...
