Yes you could mount a tie on the factory rim (it may not give much traction, especially in the rain). And you can mount a regular tire too.

Try underwear, better road holding.

You guys are mean - I know what he was asking and the answer is no, you cannot mount a non-runflat tire on a factory rim equipped with a runflat tire. You have to take the runflat off the rim first. Geez - give the poor guy a break...

Don't clown, I have to Google "how to tie a tie" every freaking time I go some place nice. That's what happens when you wear shorts and sandals to work 80% of the year.
