Another Question About Run-flat Tires

So far, the only things I have heard about run-flat tires is that you can drive on them for a while after a flat but that they are heavy, stiff and expensive. From this, I would think that it is safe to assume that the casing construction is a lot different from non-runflat tires. I am curious to know whether this difference has resulted in any difference in puncture resistance (through the tread) for better or worse than non-runflats. I am only guessing but I would think that tread life is more or less independent of casing design and construction so I wouldn’t expect much if any difference there. Anybody hear anything about puncture resistance?

Thanks, my apologies if this has already been answered in this forum and I missed it.
