Repeated tire changing off and on wheel

[MtgMaster]

Stupid question I'm sorry but does taking run-flat tires off and on affect the integrity of the tire/run-flat feature? Not hundreds of times or anything just 2 to 3 times on and off during its life. Thanks

Not sure about the tire integrity but you may end up with rim damage. I was told by my dealer that runflats are quite difficult to install because their sidewalls are so stiff. On top of that, your wheels will need to balanced each time which means removing and re-applying the weights. I decided on dedicated winter wheels to avoid this potential issue.
