Red face Getting away from RFT - TIPS?

2011 335i Convertible

Now that I'm due for new tires, I'm seriously considering moving away from Run Flats. I was quoted the ExtremeContact DWS06+ 34348 225/45/17 - 91W .Seems to be a well-rated tire.

Here are the benefits I've read about (online and in this forum):
- less expensive
- smoother ride
- longer lifespan

Drawbacks:
- requires a tow, since I've got no spare

*What about the computer's TPM? Does that still work with this tire?
**Is a product similar to "holt's tyre weld" worth having on hand, or does it make things worse from a repair standpoint? I'm in the US, btw.
***Do these tires perform better in the snow than RFT?
****Am I missing anything?
