Is a flat tire harder to notice on a 4wd compared to a 2wd car and what other differences is there regarding flat tires?
No, it isn't easier 2 or 4wd. It is easier to notice with a non- run flat vs. a runflat tire. Also it is easier with touring/ high aspect tires like touring car tires vs. sport tires. Sport tires have a stiffer/shorter sidewall that supports more weight without deflecting than a touring tire.
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.
Is it really important to check the air weekly in my Mini's tires and what is a runflat tire?
Runflat TireThe run flat tire is in case you get a flat tire the car is still able to be driven under 50 miles per hour till you can get it changed. After bringing it to the repair shop, make sure they have reset the button which is found on the gear shift. If it's not reset, then the car won't be able to monitor when a flat is actually happening the next time. I have also heard that run flat tires cannot be repaired and that the whole tire has to be replaced, this is what the dealer says, but other repair places say not the case. Checking the AirInsuring you have good air pressure is always a good thing. It makes sure you know the condition of your tires. Proper inflation can improve your gas mileage, (a very good thing!) as well as reduce wear and tear on the engine and suspension. Run flat tires should not be repaired, it is not safe. Runflat tires are not designed to allow you to continue normal driving. If your run flat tire goes flat, you need to go immediately to a shop, you usually have less than fifty miles before the tire is completely unusable. There is something called duraseal technology automatically seals the tire so it can continue to be used, this is only available for truck tires right now, the technology is not availbable for passenger tires, but maybe one day.

This happened to me once - - have you checked the air pressure in the spare tire?

Can I put 17 inch tires on my existing wheel?
If you want to replace the current tires on your vehicle with a 17 inch tire you will have to have the proper rims for that tire. If you currently have rims for a 17 inch tire then you would not have to replace them but if your tire rims are smaller or larger then they would have to be replaced.
