The problem with run-flat ride is, the sidewalls have to be able to support the weight of the car even if the air gets low... that means they have to be ultra stiff. I guess technology in the future can make them more pliable and still safe to run, but sidewall flex causes heat, which is bad for tire life... so run-flat sidewalls have to be really really stiff.
The tire sidewalls are part of the suspension... they're supposed to absorb the impact of bumps. If they don't absorb it and stay stiff, they're just passing the impact up to the car, and the suspension can only do so much by itself.
Some runflats have a stiff rib attached to the rim inside the tire that holds it up when it deflates... but this is mostly used for armored vehicles, usually SUVs... because this system is, obviously, quite expensive compared to regular run-flats.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

Ang mahirap sa BMW walang lagayan ng spare tire kung nagpalit ka ng regular tire from runflat tires.

my friend. new car owner driver.
first flat tire. buti na lang may tricycle boy na dumaan.
"boy, pa-palit naman ng flat ko".
"yes mam".
...pawis pawis.. tapos na!
"mam, heto na yung flat ninyo. san natin lagay?"
"hay! sayo na yan. sira na yan, e."
next day, nasa evangelista kami, bumubili ng brand new tire and surplus rim..
lucky padyak boy..
as an aside, in the olden days, anyone who does not move 'ala luksa during Holy Week, especially...
Traffic!
