With all of the (non RFT) flats I've had over the past ten years, the tire never completely deflated (no blowouts, luckily), and I've been able to make it to a gas station with an air pump facility - now I don't worry about even that.

Same here until this past Sunday when I scraped a granite curb entering the driveway cutout to my office. Put a small hole in the sidewall of a 1.5 month old Michelin. Took public transportation home. Next day found that BMW Assist would only take the car to a dealer, 10 miles away, vs. my tire shop, 6 miles. $100 for a tow and $311 for the rear tire (255/35-18). Should have gone to church.
