I'm one of them. My 335i, on 19s, chewed up the inside wall of the RFT within a couple of miles. I was stranded and had to call for a wagon. Then, due to limited stock, was taken 4 hrs out of my way home to grab one of the last 2 remaining tyres in the country (no tyres at all near home). My 4 hr journey took 12 hrs.

If you carry a portable compressor around too you may be able to carry on topping-up the tyre as opposed to using the gunk. I've got one of these in the boot for emergencies (gunk & compressor)...
