Yes, but you wont know if your tire is flat, and this can be dangerous. You need to run some type of aftermarket TPMS.

all of my cars have TPMS.(two came with them and one I fitted with aftermarket TPMS from TireRack)...

however, I'm having a hard time finding fun-flat tires for sale anywhere...???

depends on the weather
providing you have a tire pressure monitoring system you can use runflat tires on any car
