I had this happen to one of my tires, and I had to replace two of them since they were not brand new, and the wear would have been felt in the steering. So, be happy it happened early, if it was going to happen, since it cost you half as much as it could have.
I know I would've had to replace it regardless, but I would rather have replaced a normal tire than a run flat. It is bad luck and I am fortunate I was able to just purchase one. I'm still looking to replace the run flats with a set of normal tires and then put the run flats back on before I return the lease.
