Run flat tyres - should I buy a spare anyway?
I am buying a car with run flats. Am I being over cautious in considering buying a spare wheel or a spare tyre, to keep for longer journeys?

If you will be making a lot of long journeys into wilderness areas at weekends then yes. Often you cannot get a replacement runflat on a Sunday, especially in France.
