Yea, I used to be a huge fan of electric hub motors for cars, that is until I read up on "sprung mass".
Tires do not all weigh the same given the same size, even when they have comparable speed and wear ratings.
Hard to find tire weight information for sure, easier to find for the wheels/rims.
I think one of the problems with the run flat tires is people don't like the extra sprung mass.
