I think Mercedes' run-flat tires are just an emergency design when they go flat. I experienced this myself while driving my Mercedes - a tire got punctured, the dashboard warning light came on, and I had to drive slowly to the repair shop. The mechanic said these tires have reinforced sidewalls and can last 50 to 80 kilometers at zero pressure, with a speed limit below 80 km/h. That time I drove over 60 kilometers without issues, but the handling noticeably became heavier, the steering wheel felt very stiff, and I had to be careful not to make sharp turns. After driving, the inner side of the tire might already be damaged, so it must be replaced or repaired as soon as possible - you can't continue long-distance driving. It's important to develop the habit of regularly checking tire pressure to reduce unexpected risks. Safety comes first, after all - even the most advanced tires shouldn't be misused.
