Thats strange. My car has run flat tires (making blow-outs impossible).

Run-flats can blow out. The difference between them and regular tires
is that they have a stronger sidewall so that if you have you lose
pressure due to a leak or small puncture, the tire will not go so flat
as to ride on the rim. This allows you to drive a short distance at slow
speeds to get to safety and replace/repair your tire.


Aren't the same available for planes?

Someone else would have to answer that.
