Interesting, Jacques.
I always thought a run flat was a single cast tyre with a narrow core. Wonder how much fun it was getting that insert in and out of a standard CMP tyre? David

David the bead needs to be clamped otherwise when the pressure drops to zero the wheel starts to rotate inside the tyre. Some runflats (very heavy) were filled with soft (red) rubber. The metal bead locks in the Dodge wheel (see the thread about modifying CMP rims) has a hinge that folds back on its self (to allow insertion into the tyre) The metal ones probably came along as a result of the rubber shortage. The jeep ones are a pressed steel ring.
