How can I tell if my car has Run Flat Tyres? Is the RSC in a circle the worldwide symbol and would it appear on every run flat or do manufacturers have their own symbols? I have tried the internet to get an answer but its very confusing! Thanks

Continental tyres use the letters RSC for their run-flat tyres but other makes use different symbols. Bridgestone use RFT, Dunlop use SST (Self Supporting Tyres) and Michelin use ZP (Zero Pressure).
If you aren't sure then you should take the vehicle to a tyre shop and the tyre experts will advise you accordingly.
