2. Most of us rarely have flats, it is pretty much a non-issue. You can carry a flat repair kit, like Corvette's high performance models or Porsche. You can rely on roadside assistance, etc.

3. Yes.
I gotta disagree with you on #1. Keep in mind that the car was engineered (ride and handling) exclusively for run-flats and their stiffer sidewalls. I standard tire may make the ride/handling too soft. There may be no improvement, it could get better or worse. I think it's a bit of a crap shoot.
