Runflat tire needs to be replaced, is it worth it?

I'm about to by a 535 but it has a bubble in one of the tires and will need to be replaced. Is it worth to stick with the runflat tires?

Runflat tires is the devils work. They are totally USELESS, and give you a terrible ride compare to proper tires. Who needs to go for miles and miles with a flat tire anyway?

Here in Oz it is apparently illegal to have non-run flats if your vehicle doesn't carry a spare tyre.
