$529 stateside...Yikes!

Have about 1600 miles on them and have begun to get use to them. Quiet and smooth riding so far...a little noisy on bad roads. I set my shocks to "Comfort" when most of the time for stop and go traffic so that's OK.
Compared to my older E60 with sport package which I did replace with non run flats (Conti Extreme DW), the F10 Michelins actually ride a tad quieter and more comfortably.
BTW...the Michelin Primacy HP runflat 275/19 is $529 (mounted, tax etc) at the local tire store if I had to replace it.
SO, despite my reluctance for the seamingly costly insurance, I decided to keep it anyway...a couple of punctures and possible bent rim in 5 years might just pay for itself.
Thanks all for your input!
