I recently had a flat tire in the rear and currently the car has a spare on the rear left. i purchased a used potenza re050a on ebay for $130 but at the time didn't realize it was a run-flat version. just received it today and noticed this. is it a safety hazard to have one run-flat tire on the rear while all the others are regular versions? the run-flat is the exact same brand as the rest if that helps any.

EDIT: just noticed on tirerack it says that re050a run-flat is for use on OE bmw vehicles only? hope that isn't another issue?
