    So one of the cars has a flat.
    Its parked on the drive.

    I wasn't going to drive it until I checked the tyre model online and the continental site says they're run flats. But the guy in the tyre shop said check if they have ssr written on them.
    They don't.

    They are ContiSportContact 5.
    I can't see anything definitive online.

    Does anyone know?

    If they are continental run flats they will have ssr written on the tyre. What type of car is it?

    Standard sport contact 5's aren't run flat.

    If they were run flats they wouldn't actually look flat.

    It's a Merc B Class. Got to say it looks flat.

    It should definitely say SSR on it somewhere if a run flat.

    I think it will have RSC in a circle as well, but not sure if that's just a BMW OEM thing. My S001s have it.

    Either way, I wouldn't drive it if the tyre still has much thread on it. Even if it's runflat, if you drive on it, you will have to replace it.

    It may be just a slow puncture. Try and get a compressor or a pump and inflate it before driving to get the puncture repaired.
