If it is a sudden blowout, BMW published a recommendation to continue for up to 100 miles. If it is a slower deflation, and not a blowout, BMW published a recommendation to continue for up to 1200 miles. How far is it to a garage in South Dakota?
If you drive further, you are unlikely to be able to repair the RFT. But you can probably push a fair bit of distance if you keep your speed down. They aren't unlike temporary spares, which have similar speed/distance limitations.
