Default Run-Flat Tires - has anyone had to replace them?

I was reading about run-flats and their low mileage life. I was wondering if anyone has had to replace them yet and if so how many miles did you get out of the originals before you had to get new?

I'm only at 14k on my odometer on my '19 - I've rotated them every 5k, so far no weird signs of wear.

They seem to be holding up just fine, but once they're done I won't run them, too noisy and yeah not worth it for me in my case, I'd rather replace with the Goodyear Eagle Sports as they've done decent on my daily drivers over the years.

I have a little over 15,000 miles on my 2019 and the tires were rotated on my last check up - everything looked good, but I was reading about how some people only get 25,000 miles out of run flats and I had no idea. Not sure what I will do when they need to be replaced.

17K on my 19. Repaired one. So far they wear pretty nicely. I won't need a new set when I turn my lease in. I'm way under miles.

If I had to swap out the RFT, I would get the DWS and have a can of fix a flat in the boot.
