Yup. I had a mate call in one day with the tread gone on a front tire. I checked pressure and there was none! It was a run flat! He didn't know it was and neither did i as there was nothing written on the sidewall to that effect.
So here is a tire designed to get you home in an emergency and still people push it beyond the limits.
I think there is merit in the tweel but all the above problems need to be addressed for it to work. And i sure hope we get the option of choosing a tire with a "higher pressure" if you know what i mean. It'll be no use to us with a simulated 32 psi will it?
