Michelin has developed its own, more expensive run-flat tyre called Pax

One problem with the Pax system is that nobody has the equipment to work on them. The inside of the wheel has a different radius than the outside of the wheel iirc. The Honda Odysey has them. When the van was new, Honda's response to a flat tire was "they have to buy a new wheel and tire" b/c the dealers didn't have the equipment to change them. I am sure that isn't the case anymore, but still . . . I will stick with a spare, thanks.
