I plan to plug my tires and will only replace if it is a big hole or on the sidewall.
In Canada the tire insurance was like $2200 (which is ridiculous)
I have to say I like the firmness level my X1 has, and would not mess with that by replacing the run flats with non run flats.

From what the guys at the tire shop tell me (the shop that actually does repair run flats), the stiffer sidewalls make the tire more difficult to mount/dismount (even with the mounting machines).
