2)what happens if you have a flat on NON runflat? because there's no spare tire in the trunk

1) Switched to non-rft and have had my 18-inch Hankooks for over 12K miles. These particular tires were a bargain from Tire Rack and I spent less on four tires than what it would cost to buy 2 RFT tires. Ride is QUIET, and SMOOTH over bumps (soaks them right up). I have a Quaife diff, so these tires RESPOND like my wife's Mercedes AWD E350 4Matic on her standard tires. Why is everyone so rattled about moving to non-RFTs? the M3 doesn't have RFT shoes, either. One caveat, I pumped up the tire pressure to the recommended values listed on my door jamb for speeds up to and beyond 100MPH: 39psi front/45psi rear.....no issues on performance!
2) Mobility kit, mini-spare, insurance towing service, cell phone is great comm gear for flat tires. What is the issue?
