Wait...You drove approx 400mi on one or more RFT tires at normal motorway speed with zero pressure?
yes.
i thiught I had a valve issue as I was unable to check the tyre pressure at my local supermarket. I later realised that if the tyre is flat there is a different button to press to inflate a completly flat tyre.
this was the first rft car I have had so put it down to a learning excercise but yes racked up about 400 miles like that.
looking at the tyres very difficult to tell that it is flat but in retrospect I know what to look for.
as it was a rear thre there was the odd wobble but otherwise driving was ok.

good to know that they can take this treatment if need be.

lesson learned and I was abke oick up on the second puncture that I had.
