With my daily I have a similar issue. It's a BMW E90 with run flat tyres as standard. But the ride is much better on normal tyres plus they are cheaper, so I have switched to normal tyres. But the E90 doesn't even have a spare wheel well or a jack. So I joined the ANWB (Dutch equivalent of the AA) and just hope that I won't need them. I guess I could do the same with the Sapph, although it would still be nice to have a spare.
I used to have the same problem on my Saff Marc but I was lucky to find a wheel exactly the same as my other 4 on E-bay Germany. No problem now if I get a flat tyre on the front or back.


Old style Oz Cronos alloys with 215/40/17 tyres



Exactly the same wheel and tyre for my spare.
