my m-sport came with staggered bridgestone s001 runflats and to me the ride, noise and handling are fine. many others have complained that they are too rough riding and loud, idk.

currently, i have aftermarket wheels with go-flats and carry a scissors jack, 17mm lug wrench, compact tire inflator and tire plug kit if i take a nail. if you have a severe pothole type blowout a runflat will not help you there anyhow. some peeps also carry compact spares if/when they feel the need.

i do recommend you go to a wider front tire instead of the 225. the front wheel is 8" wide and can accept 235/45R18 or 245/40R18 (what i'd do) and it will mitigate the some of the understeer associated with the stock staggered setup.
