Loon up the brand and model, let the air out and see if the sidewall is still firm and straight?

They normally have RFT logo on the side wall mate

What vehicle, and what tyres? Usually you need to be looking are large high spec executive cars to find run flats fitted.

First thing i did when i got my BMW was take them straight off, good idea in principle but utter crap to drive on.
