Tyres
Mine came with nothing, not even 12v pump, I think it may have been another option but tyres are self sealing, saying that if you get a blowout your stuffed, then you get to use the overhead button to call for help

For V1 on 18" wheels, they should come with a pump and bottle of gunk, as the 18" tyres aren't self sealing. For V2s on 19" or V3s on 20", those tyres are self sealing, so you get no gunk or a pump.

I've never had run flat tires before so I looked it up and although they are safer to have in case of a puncture and blow outs don't happen often, you shouldn't drive over 50mph or 50 miles, they can't be repaired and quite costly to replace compared with normal repairable tires. Mines got Continental EcoContact 6's and a new one starts around £150
I have had run flats repaired, no problem. Both reinforced sidewall and self-seal can be repaired safely and legally as long as the puncture is in the main tread and not the sidewall, same as a normal tyre. The tyre needs to be checked thoroughly for sidewall damage from running under inflated, so take it a decent fitter and avoid ie. Kwik Fit who won’t bother preferring to sell you a new tyre. I wonder why.
