X3 tire issues

I have a 2017 X3 with Goodyear 245/R19 run flat tires. I've had 3 nails in 2 1/2 years. I think there is a fundamental flaw in the thread pattern which runs parallel to the road, so it hoovers up the nails instead of discarding them. When I put air in to reflate the tire yesterday eve, the valve broke. I think it's shameful for BMW to sell a shitty product like that.
I've had an X5, Toyota and Jeep, all with regular tires, and in 20 years never had a problem. Maybe run flats aren't adequate technology for the the 3rd world road conditions and contractors spilling construction wastes freely all over the map.
