Mount them once and carry on, don't risk having them changed over several times.
Run flats are tires that can support the weight of the vehicle with no air pressure for approx 100 clicks at reasonable speed just to get you to a area to safely change the tire or to a service station etc....if I was running winter tires and summer tires my winter ones would be on seperate rims...easy self switch out under an hour......
