The sound was so much of a concern we opted to call BMW via the car’s SOS button. Moving the car slowly with the window down resulted in the crunchy sound of a flat tire and the feeling was noticeably wiggly and sloppy. Hoping it was just low, and not completely flat, we looked at it closely and could see it was definitely flat. A system like this is now government-mandated on all modern cars. We first noticed the flat when we re-entered the vehicle because the car told us the front left tire was low via the information screen. We learned quite a bit from the experience and hope you find this information helpful if you’re considering a vehicle with run-flat tires. During a Sunday trip to a park we had a puncture that gave us the chance to see how a run flat preforms while driving deflated, as well as explore the repair/replacement options and see how they might compare to other road hazard management options like a full size spare or temporary spare. Our impromptu test vehicle was a 2013 BMW X3 xDrive 28i crossover. We recently had an unplanned opportunity to put run flat tires to the test.
