Are run flats more susceptible to deformation and blow outs (not excluding punctures) than non-rf tyres?

I ask as I've had more go in the last couple months than I have over previous years and the only difference is they are RF's.

Reading around it appears many Goodyear run flat owners encounter bulging, is this just a Goodyear thing perhaps? as I cannot find many reports of other brands. Or is it a Run flat issue due to design?


From the design difference alone, I can't see why they would be weaker - but from real world examples they do appear that way...
 
Another blown Goodyear fitting the trend.

You would expect them to be more resilient but they do not appear to be.
