It really depends on where you live, how much you drive, and what size wheels you have. If you have 18"s or bigger, drive a lot or drive in areas with bad roads, you have a pretty good chance of bending a rim and/or ruining some tires at some point. This is amplified by the stiff sidewalls of run-flats. I have had 1 bent rim (repairable) and two flat (ruined) tires in the past 10+ years. For me the insurance isn't worth it. By buddy on the other hand has a 3 year old Camaro with 19"s and has ruined 3 tires and bent two rims ( only one was repairable). It's really a YMMV and a luck thing!
