In an extreme case without a spare you might be waiting for a tow truck.

I can attest to the fact that the stick run flat is able to be. Driven after being badly damaged. Last week I hit a curb and split the. Run flat at the wheel and I was able to drive it 9 miles at about 55 miles per hour on a shitty road. I then got up the next morning and drove the car about 50 miles into the city to try and replace the tire. It held up at speeds of 45-55 on crappy roads in South Carolina. The downside was no one not even the dealer carried the tire and none could get it on a saturday. The only offering was a Potenza by Bridgestone. I hated the noise and the hard ride of the run flat so I replaced all the. Tires. I am in need of emergency solutions now also.
