Plus all four newish wheels of the car failed the same way, on hard cornering would allow air to escape and went flat almost as fast as a blowout. never had a leak with tubeless tyres on steel rims in near 50 years of driving.
The thing is, corrosion on a rim with a tubeless tyre and no tube is a problem, with a tube fitted is not a problem. I would be unlikely ever to buy a car with alloy rims, or one with a "spacesaver" spare wheel or run flat tyres. The reason is I often have 300 mile runs to catch a ferry and time is critical.
