    I wasn't aware of this and was planning to get these tyres next Spring.

    It appears SOME sizes can have Driveguard run-flat technology

    I took a tyre to National Tyres for a simple puncture repair and they wrecked it. Obviously overpressure causing sidewall bulging all round. Looking at their reviews I am not the only one. I am suspicious that they may wreck tyres on purpose to make you buy new ones. There is a reason they are called 'Halfrauds'.
