Not true at all. I hit a pot hole and blew a hole in side wall my rim was totally undamaged. Had to tow the car even with run flats so now I have a real spare and ditched the crappy runflats.
I said the risk is quite low, not impossible...

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
