Did a 6000+ kilometre trip and about halfway through someone told me that the left rear wheel was flat. When we removed it we noticed that it seems to have exploded on the inside; when it happened I don’t know as neither did theTPMS give any warning nor did the car feel any different to what it normally drives.
Waited about a week for the tyres to arrive - all the tyre shops I approached did not have any stock and the tyres had to be sent from Johannesburg (about 1100kms from where I was at the time).
The replacement tyres are normal Pirellis instead of the Pirelli run flats that were on the car when I bought it. These tyres transformed the quality of the ride quite drastically although there are still times when the ride can be better.
