Can I fit run-flat tyres to my Hyundai Kona Electric?

I bought a Hyundai Kona electric earlier this year. It comes with a 'repair kit', which I don't want - I've had problems in the past. They would not fit run-flat tyres even though I was happy to pay for the,

When I spoke to KwikFit about replacing the existing tyres they didn't think it was a good idea and talked about extra weight from the batteries. I have seen run-flats in the appropriate size, but what would you advise?

We can't speak for your particular vehicle, but it is often the case that cars with run-flat tyres need a specific design of wheel to accommodate them safely. We've not heard of anyone trying to fit run-flats to the Kona Electric, so this might be a bit of a dead-end. Perhaps contact some other tyre fitters to get their professions view? Also, you may be able to purchase a spare tyre to fit in the boot.
