Here is my thread on getting a flat tire. These are far from true runflats. However, I do believe they were designed to be driven on if you get a flat/blowout. I just don't know the distance you can travel, as I pulled over right away. Point is, after looking at the tire closely (pics of it in my gallery) there was a small portion of the tire left attached around the rim, which maybe is why they told you the car had runflats? It no doubt saved my rim though from getting destroyed.
I think you were just LUCKY!!! I guess my point is...I don't know of any tires that blow the bead of the tire first unless the tire is actually defective (it has more support there than anywhere else). Every tire made is going to probably blow in the sidewall or tread area. Then depending on how far you drive will determine how quickly the bead works itself off the wheel. Of course, if you lose control and are sliding sideways, you will break the bead much faster.
