Had the fun experience of hitting a 4x4 piece of wood at about 70mph on 95. Saw it in time and was able to move to the next lane to avoid it (so i thought), only to have a truck clip it and slide it right into my path at the last second. Made for an interesting ride through traffic.
Could a person drive on a run flat with a hole that size?
You don’t care that jack in the car all the time do you?

What does suck even more is that when i called to make sure they had a replacement NON-runflat tire they said yes. So my buddy ran the wheel to them and had the tire swapped.. brought it back and naturally it was a runflat that they put on, figures..
as for driving with a hole that size in a runflat? no idea, i imagine it wouldnt be a great idea either way. new wheels and tires will be going on soon enough anyway.
Something similar happened to my daughter in her Chevy Sonic a few years ago, except it was a semi driveshaft. Car came slightly off the ground. The driveshaft blew up the engine and transaxle. Car got totaled by Ins company

hopefully she was unscathed through that.
definitely felt like the car went on 2 wheels. Could be an exaggerated feeling for me due to how low and stiff the car is though
