There is no safety mechanism to keep track if the number of miles run while flat.

Anyone that repairs a run flat does not understand them.
Granted that run-flat repairs are quite a bit more problematic than regular tire repairs, is it wrong to assume that with a tire repair and inflation kit, like "Slime Spair," drivers have a better chance of getting to a repair shop with the punctured tire in decent shape (whatever that means)?
Remember that many BMW owners are driving in places where a dealership garage, or even a well-stocked tire store, is nowhere nearby. (Maybe BMW isn't the best choice, then, but that's another discussion entirely.)
