you can't roll a tire off the rim of split rim, since it has no drop center. the tire can not physically be removed until either the ring is snapped out of it's retaining slot, or the bead of the tire has been severed, both which can happen in a run flat situation, and will happen as easily regardless of the indentation in the side wall.Once again, the indentation is there to protect the sidewall from rock damage, it don't retain squatt. Quit scaring the niave into buying needless rims or downsizeing perfectly safe tires. Thats my opinion, you've got a right to it.
