For the savings you'll realize running the DWS's over the RFT you can get a spare tire, can of slime, a portable compressor AND replace your rim in the off chance you get a flat in a supremely inconvenient location and need to sacrifice it limping somewhere safe.

In the case of the OEm Dunlop run flats, they cost $2k per set which is double the cost of the DWS. When you factor in tread life, 20k miles vs. 40k miles+, well the cost delta is much worse.
