Good lord will these discussions ever end??? Tell your ill-informed dealership that the M235 will come with Michelin non-runflats. If you want to "downgrade" to runflats, it'll be Option 458. Lifespan on either tire will depend on how you use/abuse them. You'll be doing yourself a huge disservice by going with the run flats. This car (suspension tuning/handling, etc) was NOT developed with these in mind. And run flats, particularly lower profiled ones like these, ride like crap compared to the Super Sports which are excellent tires. Your choice though.
