No, they don't, they remain useful for many years.

While they don't "wear" out, they can become unsafe to use from age, weather cracking, and dry rot.

There are different steps for one to maintain big o tires. If you have chrome tires you want to clean with non acid and non lye products.

Hey Dummy, Didn't you know that after 2006, BMW did not include a spare tire, jack, and lug wrench since the cars had run-flat tires as original equipment. You just need to get a spare tire and jack since you can use your head as the wrench (lug nut head).

Can run flat tires be replaced with conventional tire?

Cars that use run-flat tires don't have a spare tire. But there's no other reason you can't switch to regular tires. Best thing to do is learn how to plug a nail hole and carry a can of fix-a-flat or a small compressed air cylinder that you can use to re-inflate the tire should you encounter a flat. Or if you have CAA or AAA you can call and have them fix it.
