Had a flat
 
So I had a flat, dont know for how long because I had run flats on the car. I was driving in front of my friend today and he said my car was dancing all over the lane ( which it was because I could barley keep it in check, it was windy yesterday so I figured it was that ) Then we pulled onto a backroad where the road is really bumpy. I was going maybe 35mph and the car just started getting really squirrley(sp?) I started slowing down and spun out onto the side of the road, luckily it was a flat dirt section so nothing around to hit and I just came to a somewhat gentle stop. Car got a little dirty but I detailed it today so thats taken care of. Mounting 4 tires on it tomorrow. It was one hell of an eye opening experience. So everybody, make sure to check your tires often!

runflats should only be mounted on vehicles that have low pressure warning systems, as most individuals do not check their air pressures daily/weekly, and will run into a situtation like yours. You sir got lucky.
But yeah dont use runflats without a system that can monitor the tire pressure etc.
