...on a motorcycle; in the capacity that it was designed for? Meaning that they've experienced loss of air and the tire still gets them home, without any drama?

Just curious. If it'll get a car home... I'd think it would not self destruct on a motorcycle. Or would it... due to the difference to the way that the car tire sits on the motorcycle wheel's bead hump as instead of being locked in?

I offer this very good article again for review (we have seen it before on this forum) and a couple of pic's I took from it to illustrate my question:

If a run flat car tire is locked into the wheel's rim, I can logically understand how it would still stay on the rim and the stiffer sidewalls would maintain enough tire structure. If they are not locked in (as on a motorcycle wheel) I would venture a hypothesis that the tire would eventually self destruct due to eventual lateral movement of the tire within the rim?
