Just wondering I'm from Australia but I'm guessing it is pretty much the same all over the world. BMW in Australia give a distance of 300km's that can be travelled on their runflats when they are totally flat. This is nearly 4 times the distance that mercedes says the runflats their car is using will travel. Now the manufacturers web-site for the tyres that BMW are using definately doesn't say it can travel 300Km's it actually says 80Km but that if the manufacturer specifies a different distance then listen to the manufacturer of the car. <div id="isChromeWebToolbarDiv" style="display:none">
So this being my first car with runflats I'm wondering what is a realistic distance you should be able to travel in a A class on runflats should the inevitable happen and your totally without air? I don't think I want to change to normal tyres as I don't have any boot space for a spare anyway (COMAND system). But I'm thinking of getting either some type of goo like comes with the A250, or something else to plug a tyre with should I get a puncture and a compressor to blow up the tyre should I need to.
What are other people thinking of doing? Australia is quite large with some places a few hundred Km's between towns with no tyre place that will have runflats. So I'm really interested in other peoples ideas on what they will do.
