Default Dunlop 225/45 R17 91V Runflats? Worth the price?

My IS250 AWD came with 4 of these tires when I bought it. I have had two flats and now have a bubble on a diffrent tire. I was able to seal the flats, but I def. have to replace this tire. One of these tires is being quoted to me at close to 240 a pop. I have had a bad expierience with these tires and considering replacing? Are these good tires and I am just having bad luck or has anyone else had problems?

Combination... personal preferece, I'm not a big fan of the Dunlops... however it's more because I think they typically suck performance and treadwear wise...

quality wise, I think you have some bad luck, and potentially you have some really bad luck when it comes to the flat tire / bubble experience - all of those sound like road hazard issues, not the tires fault necessarily...

if you are buying new, get something different, but I wouldn't change them just to change them...
