Knock on wood... I've never had a flat on any vehicle (other than my bicycle) in 25 years of driving. Lucky I guess. I have always used Michelins and still do.

I just replaced my runflats with non-runflats and found one runflat had 3 patches and one had 1 patch.

When I bought my car used a few years ago with 13K, one Runflat was losing air every day. I found the nail and pulled it out. All the air escaped. I then drove across town to Goodyear to get it fixed. The car ran fine without air in the one tire.
