OK, but that only matters if more than one tire is flat (assuming he has not removed the spare from the car).

Keep in mind thatRunflats are typically only rated for a limited distance at lower speeds and will still need to be replaced. However it is not uncommon at all for places not to have them in stock and you having to wait days for them to be able to get them. Heck I had to wait as long as a month for a winter runflat replacement!

Frankly you are better off with a plug kit, a can of fix-a-flat and a portable air compressor, which is exactly what I did when I got rid of the runflats on my previous car (BMW).
