You may be able to find run-flat sup****t for regular pneumatic tires.
I think it was in UK news. Run flat tires allows the manufacturer to
remove the spare tire, therefore saving some weight (increase MPG by a
fraction). It also helps maintain some directional control when you
have a higher speed blowout.
The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard may require manufacturer to
provide a pneumatic spare, but does the own need to drive around with
a spare? Will a tire shop install a non-spec tire? etc etc
