That's terrible. I would much rather swap in a spare than try to use some patch kit, then go back on the highway. From what I understand run-flat tires are also less than ideal. Isn't it true that they'll let you stop safely, but continuing driving with them will be problematic? I live in the North Eastern US, so last fall I bought a second set of wheels for my car and installed some very nice snow tires on them. Now I carry a winter tire as the spare instead of the donut and a in the winter it's a summer tire. Long car trip + blown tire would mean I won't make it to my destination on the donut. Full size spare FTW.
