Chill Alex, We all wish and mean you well (I know I do).
You are a lucky chap to be able to afford such a lovely motor.
Pi55-takers like me are just jealous.
The tyre is a "special" and for peace of mind you may have to pay the top whack for the full-fat replacement rather than the cheap repair.
Best wishes.

it would appear so from here https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-ww/car/find-your-tyres/products-sheet/scorpion-verde-all-season
essentially run flats have a stiffer wall to support the vehicle weight in the even of depressure, but that results in a harsher ride. my tyre fitter has lots of people replacing their run flats with non at tyre changes due to a harsh ride
That's very helpful thank you. That explains a lot actually. .great link.
And yes I do agree the ride is very harsh. Hard to justify 4 new tyres at just 10k millege but definitely going to check it out on when remaining tyres are due.
Get in contact with Pirelli, ask them if those tyres can be repaired. Personally I cannot believe that a manufacturer would develop a tyre which has a lining which seals nail punctures but cannot take a conventional plug repair. You would be paying top dollar for a tyre which has to be scrapped each time it gets a nail. If the manufacturer confirms they cannot be repaired, time to change all of them to normal tyres which can.
yeah, you have to watch him, he's "well-dodgy"
There’s a noise deadening “liner” on the inside of the tyre. I don’t think it will be a run flat tyre on the car - you can check as they’ll be marked up as such.
Here is info on the noise cancelling liner

I couldn’t find anywhere about puncture repairs on this but Pirelli will know

Welcome.
With that size of tyre and such a heavy vehicle on roads in the state of ours, it won't be long before they need doing. If you really are looking for cheaper solutions* , so soon after buying a £100k+ vehicle, then change all of them now. That way, whilst they remain undamaged, you can sell the 22" to pay for smaller wheels and more rubber.
As for £300 per corner I would say for run flats on an almost new Range Rover that's ok. Mine is 16yr old and still costs approx £100 per corner for pirellis. You must have known when you bought it that parts would be expensive?
* since the introduction of the L322, she, and all who followed her, struggle with the word cheap.
That's amazing thank you very much

I can't remember the whole kit n kabboodle but remember being told run flats can be repaired, "if they haven't been run flat". Something to do with the extent of damage to the inside. Also it needs to be on the bit that touches the ground ( can't remember technical name) , caveat: it's been years since I was given the information and perhaps things have changed.

As far as I am aware that's correct. it can be run with a lower pressure, but if flat it can damage the stiffening in the wall, rendering it weak at higher speed
The arse?
. Or the tread. My daughter drove her car + 3 passengers from Coventry to Lincoln on a flat, run flat tyre. Wrecked the side walls so could not be repaired. Claimed she did not know it had punctured.

Found this, if it's any use to the op

Looking at it, it seems that the verde has all 3 technologies.
Also found lots of " can I repair my run flats" , with lots of "no" , as the answer.

Had a look it's called the crown. Every day is a school dayThe arse?
I thought run flats had to be on a vehicle with tpms , so that you know there is an issue?

I agree. As said , mine are approx £100 per corner , with no fancy underwear. £300 per corner for all that under the rubber, seems fair
P.s Not sure the noise deadening is worth it. A difference of 1db.
My daughters car has run flats as a factory fitment from new. No tpms though.
