run flats are tires with extra sturdy sidewalls so that even if you get a puncture you can still run on it flat. They are what any MCS will come with and are commonly believed to be inferior to a normal tire because they weigh too much and possibly have less grippy rubber.
Most people ditch their run flats as soon as they get the car, well if they are going to do any AutoX or road racing they do.
